The role of the La Plata County treasurer is not to make policy decisions.

Rather, the treasurer collects the property-tax revenue the county assessor directs to be collected, and the treasurer pays the obligations of the county the county commissioners direct to be paid. The treasurer must be the steward of precious tax dollars to ensure they are invested wisely and safeguarded and should not be wasted on inefficient or manual processes.

La Plata County needs Allison Morrissey as the treasurer. Her business experience reflects proven successes. Her leadership skills have allowed her to manage process and technology changes, while achieving these results by wisely utilizing the investments or allocation of dollars that others have entrusted to her management.

With our county’s tax dollars reduced, she is the most qualified candidate to improve the treasurer’s office by implementing technology upgrades in order to improve productivity and greater customer service to the residents of the county. She is the only candidate whose experience has proven she can accomplish this in a large-scale capacity. While her morrissey4treasurer.com site has information on her background and experience, her LinkedIn account reflects greater information on her experience and qualifications.

Please vote for Allison Morrissey for La Plata County treasurer in the election this November.
