As Tax Collector

By Susan M. (Billie) Ropski

What I plan to do as Tax Collector

As your Tax Collector, I not only will assist in collecting the taxes for the Borough, County and School District, but will also keep you the Tax payers informed on the developments in our Borough, County and School District and how your tax dollars are being spent. I am a firm believer that the best way to approach something is digging right into the matter at hand and finding an answer whether good or bad.

1. Offer suggestions to Council and School Board on effective means on spending and cutting cost in this tough economical time our country is in.

2. Make myself available at the Council meetings for Residents that wish to pay their taxes in person instead of sending it throught the Mail.

3. Make arrangements with our Seniors that are home bound but need to pay their taxes to stop by their homes and collect the taxes.

4. To assist residents in paying their taxes on time with payment plans that best fits their econimic situations.

5. Finally make Council and the school board accountable to how they are spending our Tax dollars.

6. To be the tax payers advocate.
