I believe the Office of the Tax Collector is a Public Service NOT a Business! It is not in the best interests of the tax payer to crush them with penalties and try to squeeze every penny out of them! I will prioritize customer service and replace outdated technology to increase effeciency and cut wait times. 

I believe in treating every citizen and employee with fairness, dignity, and respect. I understand that there are circumstances in life that cause unexpected hardships and I will always be open to the abatement of penalties whenever possible and will inform all tax payers about available exemptions.
