Dear Editor,
After 28 years as Clermont County Treasurer, J. Robert True will step down next year.
He will be remembered not only for his sharp wit and quick mind, but for making his office one of the most efficiently-managed county offices in Ohio. During Mr. True’s tenure, the delinquent rate on real estate tax bills in Clermont County has been reduced below two percent, resulting in one of the best collection rates in the State. This is of utmost importance for our local school districts and the agencies which rely on tax settlements to continue to operate.
For those of you who will be voting in the Republican primary election on March 15, 2016, please consider a candidate for County Treasurer who has both the on-the-job experience and moral integrity to keep this office on top — Jeannie Zurmehly.
Over the past three years I had the privilege of working with Mrs. Zurmehly. She currently serves as supervisor of the delinquent department, but she also has experience in every phase of the operation of the Treasurer’s Office.
I know her to be a hard worker, detail oriented, loyal to her boss and co-workers, and possessed of the integrity and intelligence to serve Clermont County as a top notch Treasurer.
Bob True’s shoes will be difficult to fill. Jeannie Zurmehly is the best choice to continue his excellent legacy.
Marshall McCachran
