Candidate for
Treasurer-Tax Collector; County of Orange

As the Elected Treasurer for the County of Orange, I have brought Common Sense Leadership to the County of Orange.

Some of my "Common Sense Changes" at the County of Orange include:

• Maintaining liquidity and zero loss of funds due to credit quality in the current challenging economic environment
• Significantly increasing taxpayer use of no cost on-line eCheck options for property tax payments
• Eliminating full color property tax bills which initially saved taxpayers over 20% in printing costs
• Posting prior year's property tax bills online, which was a primary factor in reducing annual incoming taxpayer calls by over 30,000
• Receiving the 2013 OC Taxpayers Association "Rose Award" for streamlining and reducing costs for property tax bills
• Voting to eliminate negative amortization on pension plans which is estimated to save taxpayers over $625 million
• Streamlined operational processes resulting in savings of over $20 million to the County since 2011
• Lowering convenience fees on property tax credit card payments saving taxpayers over $1.8 million in 18 months
• Refunding three years of overcharged investment fees, returning $2.8 million back to investors
• Reducing school bond financing costs by over $1.2 million
• Saving over $18 million for one school district by exposing poor bond financing practices
