White County Treasurer, Dixie Geisler

by kcotner on June 19, 2009

Dixie GeislerExperience counted in the 2008 election, because the voters of White County chose Dixie Geisler to run the Treasurer’s office for her third term!  Dixie will be the first to admit that new technology has changed office procedures a great deal since her first term in 1993, but she has met these challenges head on while continuing to keep the office running smoothly.  While running for office is a lot of fun, getting our and meeting taxpayers, hearing their concerns is important to Dixie.  She does not take lightly the responsibility and trust the voters have placed in her.  Her professional philosophy is a promise to make sure all questions are answered to the best of her ability in a respectful manner and that she will be held accountable to the taxpayers.  The next time you are in the courthouse, stop in and say hello, you will be greeted with warmth and humor!

Parks Board debate

Trouble in River City 

White County Democrat Chairman, Kathy Altman, wrote a letter to the editor of the Monticello Herald Journal published last Friday, 6/12/09.  Apparently her letter hit a nerve because Mayor Thompson responded with his own letter today, 6/19/09.  While both sides present their version of this story, it is far from over.
