I just retired from the (La Plata County) Treasurer’s Office after 21 years of service. During the last 3½ years, I have worked for Allison Aichele, La Plata County treasurer. She has been the best manager I have ever worked for. She came into the office when we opened the mail by hand and used typewriters and lots of paper. Under her leadership, I learned something new every day.
She brought in training for us on how to use accounting and banking technologies to make the office more effective and efficient. We implemented many electronic ways for our customers to pay taxes, which changed everything. The Treasurer’s Office has become a professional accounting office, and Allison has worked hard to get everything running smoothly. You can be sure taxpayer money is collected accurately, protected according to law and disbursed on time to the many taxing districts we work with. The school districts get more than half the money that flows through the office. They are happy with our work. The Treasurer’s Office is a non-political office. No political decisions are made in this office. It doesn’t report to the county commissioners. It must follow the laws of the state of Colorado. There are so many that govern this office, I never learned them all!
I want you to vote to keep Allison Aichele in office – not for me – but to continue to do the work she has started, which is for you, for your benefit.
