Islip Receiver of Taxes
Democratic, Libertarian
Donovan G. Currey
Background:
DEMOCRATIC
Currey, 60, a project manager and accountant, is running on the Democratic and Libertarian party lines.
Policies:
- Currey said he would improve the assessor’s office including bringing the grievance process online. “It’s too cumbersome for the residents of Islip to grieve their taxes,” he said.
- He would revamp “the program overall to make it easier and not hire an outside entity” for grieving.
- Currey also said he’d make assessments more accurate and residents wouldn’t need to challenge their taxes as often.
Republican, Independent, Conservative
Alexis Weik (Incumbent)
Background:
REPUBLICAN
Weik, 47, is running on the Republican, Independence and Conservative party lines. She is seeking her third four-year term.
Policies:
- Weik said she has updated the office during her tenure with online payment systems.
- “Everything we do is now computerized with checks and balances,” she said. “It was still manual when I took over the office with pen and paper.”
- Priorities for the future include improving customer service, Weik said, with twice the staff now available for assistance.
