Toni Murphy - Tax Receiver
I can honestly say that I have enjoyed my time serving as the Receiver of Taxes over the years. The work itself is challenging, as I bear responsibility for the handling and recording of more than $33 million in annual Town Revenues. Throughout my time in this position I have continually strived to fulfill the mission of the office in an efficient manner, and to be responsive and helpful to all of the residents.
Much has been changed here since I first took office. Operations have moved from paper transactions to computer based systems. Alternate payment options have been added, with credit card, and electronic transfer programs. The office hours and staffing pattern has been improved. I have been happy with all of these improvements, because people have seen them as a benefit to the public. Many residents have mentioned that they appreciate being able to review their taxes on-line, from home now, by entering www.basny.com.
Being in direct contact with so many residents who come to my window, or call in keeps me fully involved in the life of my community. This has always been an important part of my life. My late husband Tim and I raised our two daughters as active members of the East Greenbush Community. Today I am proud to see both of them setting their own family roots as homeowners and involved citizens here in Town.
I have been involved in municipal finance for over 22 years, and have participated in many conferences, and training seminars specific to my responsibilities. I am honored that my professional peers have placed me in the position of Vice President of the NYS Association of Tax Receivers and Collectors.
In summary, I love my job. It is a pleasure, and an honor to serve the people of my community. I ask you to continue to support me with your vote on the Democrat, Working Families, or Independence line on November 8th. I look forward to continuing to serve as your Receiver of Taxes.
