A new look on nasty tax collectors...

So when I first heard that we were having someone from the tax collectors office come and speak to us, I have to admit...I was a little well....bored about it. But to my surprise Mr. Trigg was one of my favorite guest! I learned so much from him!

Mr. Trigg's enthusiasm and awesome public speaking ability made him very easy to understand and listen to. He was able to keep my attention the entire time, and he opened my eyes to the tax collectors business.

Mr. Trigg started off his presentation by telling us what he does, and what we as citizens can have done if we go to the tax collector's office. I was very surprised to learn how much he had to do with the improvement of customer service at the office, just by adding in chairs, cross-training people for different departments, and adding a numeric system just as you would find at any Publix deli. I never actually believed that a tax collector's office would care about customer service. I always thought all they wanted was my money and they didn't care how they had to get it.

Mr. Trigg then walked us through all the records that are public file that we can reach at the tax collector's office.

I loved loved loved loved loved...loved.....how he told us how every reporter should go about finding the information that we needed. What we need to ask for, and what we should do in order to make it cheap for us.

In conclusion, I believe that Mr. Trigg was able to offer us the most information of how to, and what we can and cannot obtain from public records. I also felt that after Mr. Trigg's left that if I were to ever need anything figured out, that he would be happy to help, and I am thankful for that!
