Richie-Folks: N/A
PL: What concrete solutions do you propose to address these issues?
Richie-Folks: I will be responsible for collecting the taxes for the city and making sure that they are deposited in the designated financial institutions. I will also be responsible for operating the city treasurer's office and managing the staff.
PL: What expertise will you bring to the office?
Richie-Folks: I have 35 years of experience in finance, accounting, managing over 30 employees, managing multi-million dollar budgets, investing $100,000 for [American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT)], owned my own construction company, I also developed procedures to bring delinquent accounts current, and I have received awards for providing excellent customer service. I was promoted to General Manager for a worldwide corporation [Sodexo] where I was responsible for managing the division's budget of $5 million.
I have done research and spoke with other City Treasurer's around the Northern Virginia areas, and I have some innovative ideas that I would like to bring to the Manassas City Treasure's office. I would like to make it more accessible and have more online services to help make the process of paying taxes simple.
I know that there is a new system that is being installed and will become operational in January. If I am elected, I will be a part of the installation of this system and will be able to make sure that these services will be looked into and if cost-effective put in place.
I would also like to accommodate our senior citizens and make paying taxes easier and accessible for them and the disabled. We live in a world of technology, and everything can be done online, and I want our citizens to be able to take advantage of that when paying their taxes.
