Baumgartner’s self-promotion

With our county feeling a financial pinch because of COVID, I was thinking the county treasurer, Michael Baumgartner, could save some money by using less expensive paper without color photos of himself on them to communicate with taxpayers.

And what is with reprinting envelopes for tax payments with his name on them? The prior treasurers never did that. Mr. Baumgartner should use our tax money more wisely … and not for self-promotion.
