Bonnie Reemsnyder | Tax Collector
Education
BS Early Childhood Education Little about Bonnie I grew up in Madison CT and relocated to Old Lyme in the early 90's. Our 3 children attended LOL Schools and graduated from LOLHS. I became active in the town in the early 2000's, while I was Director of the Old Lyme Children's Learning Center. I served as Selectwoman from 2003 to 2011 and First Selectwoman from 2011 to 2019. I am intimately familiar with how important the roll of tax collector is and exactly what the tax collector does. I served on the technology committee that implemented technology in OL Town Hall, including online payments for Tax Office. I am very familiar with the processes in the tax office and the opportunities still to be met in this office. |
Why are you running for this office and what do you hope to accomplish while in office?
It is time that the Tax Office was represented by someone who understands excellent customer service, uses available technology and is willing to be flexible in providing the services. I am ready to step up and provide all of this - with a smile! Once in office, I will discuss more flexible hours with the First Selectman, as well as increase efficiency in the office. Taxpayers will be given ample information about how to pay taxes online or in-person, and will be treated with respect and dignity.

What’s your favorite place in Old Lyme?
I love finding and watching the murmuring of the swallows in the fall. I can also be found walking the boardwalk at DEEP!
