By electing Veronica Lurvey, as the Town of North Hempstead’s next receiver of taxes, she will continue the outstanding work of our long-serving current Receiver, Charles Berman.

Veronica will implement the same professionalism that was exercised under Mr. Berman’s leadership over the past 14 years.

The receiver of taxes is the department that issues the tax bills and collects the taxes on behalf of the county, town, school and library.

It is not a department that oversees any “fiscal restraints in the Town’s spending or any other financial management.”

She will add an enhanced vision to the operation of the receiver of taxes department. Veronica will bring a level of professionalism, responsiveness and transparency to the office of Receiver of Taxes.

Her corporate background will bring valuable expertise to the position. We need a proven professional who will be able to provide the skills and leadership to enhance the receiver’s department.

Knowledgeable of the town’s operations with her four years as town councilperson, will add enriched vision to the operations of the Receiver of Taxes Department and provide her with the ability to start the newly elected position on the first day running.

New visions to collecting, issuing, and reviewing for material errors on the County’s tax rolls are the principal responsibility of the receiver.

We need a proven professional, who be able to provide the skills and the leadership to work to enhance not recreate one of the best receivers departments in the state, not having a “new vision.”

I know who I have voted for on my absentee ballot and you too should support Veronica Lurvey as our town’s next receiver of taxes.
