Letter to Abington Township Voters

By Jay Blumenthal

It has been my privilege to serve as Abington Township Treasurer and Tax Collector for eight years. I have worked tirelessly to be independent, fair, and dedicated to the success and needs of the Township and it's residents.

During my tenure, I have initiated many changes in the Tax Office. By consistently exceeding budgeted Township revenue projections and implementing a bar-coding system, Township earnings were increased. At my own cost, the staff and office hours were increased as well as the methods and availability to pay taxes. I set up email notifications to inform residents of due dates and other pertinent Township information and respond to emails, even on nights and weekends. Participation in town meetings, fairs, and newsletters enables me to reach a large segment of the community. During hard economic times, I voluntarily reduced my income.

To continue being Abington's Tax Collector, I need to win the election on November 5th. I would appreciate your vote.

Sincerely, Jay
