Schuylkill County Treasurer Linda L. Yeich announces her candidacy for a third term as county treasurer. Yeich states, “There is still more work that can be done as county treasurer, but I am proud of these accomplishments:

• Continuing to bring Hotel and other properties into compliance with the County’s Hotel Tax Ordinance and offering extended hours;

• Collaborating with Tax Collectors to establish uniformity of practices and procedures;

• Working with Commissioners and Finance Department to maximize interest income;

• Assisting Controller Sharyn Yackenchick to implement various ACH payments for faster payment to recipients.

She adds, “During the last years seven years as treasurer I have shown strong work ethic and coal-region values that the taxpayers of Schuylkill County can trust. As treasurer and a small-business owner I have proven I can get the job done. Hard decisions and not accepting the status quo don’t always make me poplar. The county needs to be run like a business being financially responsible, making tough decisions, and holding people accountable.”

Yeich is a lifelong resident of Schuylkill County and lives in Wayne Township with her husband Todd Yeich. She is a graduate of Blue Mountain High School and earned an Associate Degree in Business Administration from Penn State University.
