To the Editor:
I write to encourage my fellow Clermont County residents who intend to vote in the Republican Primary on March 15, to vote for Jeannie M. Zurmehly to become the Republican Party’s candidate for Treasurer in this coming November’s election.
My thoughts on this issue are based upon my working relationship with Jeannie in the Treasurer’s Office. One of the areas of my practice of law in Clermont County is the providing of Real Estate Title Opinions to assist in the collection of delinquent real estate taxes.
I provide such title opinions to Jeannie several times a week in her capacity as head of the Delinquent Tax Division of the Treasurer’s Office. Jeannie is the Treasurer’s liaison between the Prosecutor’s Office (the Treasurer’s attorney in real estate tax foreclosure suits) and the taxpayer.
In this role, she has exemplified all the qualities one could wish for in the Office of Treasurer. She interacts with the taxpayers in a courteous, kind and compassionate manner. She interacts with the Prosecutor’s Office in a knowledgeable, efficient and professional manner. In her over eight years at the Treasurer’s Office she has worked diligently and collegially with Bob True, who is retiring at the end of his term in 2017, Connie Bare, his Chief Deputy Treasurer, and all of the fine staff they have assembled to work for the best interests of all of the taxpayers of Clermont County.
In sum, then, given the fact that Jeannie Zurmehly knows all the facets of the Treasurer’s Office inside and out, and has demonstrated over these past eight years a thorough and diligent work ethic in the very office she seeks, I would be remiss, given my inside look at her performance, not to suggest to my fellow Clermont County citizens that they vote for Jeannie M. Zurmehly this March 15.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard P. Schuler
Attorney at Law
