York County voters elect Bobby Mills to a four-year term as the York County treasurer.
During the campaign leading to the election, Mills said he believes the treasurer’s position is valuable to York County. “The elected position of treasurer provides the checks and balances needed in county government,” said Mills. Read more HERE.
“The treasurer does not have an office within any county government building. The duties are handled by our finance department.”
This still begs the question: If “the treasurer does not have an office within any county government building and the duties are handled by the finance department”, why have an election for County Treasurer?
As voters complain about high taxes, why vote to pay another government salary for a position handled by the finance department?
A huge loss for the people of York County….a huge win for the “swamp.”

Two candidates vie for position as York County Treasurer – Brad Littlefield and Bob Mills.
These are serious points to ponder for York County (ME) voters in this upcoming election.
2.23.18 update
Journal Tribune reports “County mulls referendum on treasurer position.”
“York County Commissioners say they’ll likely decide next month whether they’ll vote to abolish the elected part-time position of county treasurer and ask voters countywide to support their decision in a November referendum. If they decide to do so, and voters agree, the position would become an appointed one.
The position was characterized as ceremonial by County Manager Greg Zinser; the county has employed a full-time finance director for the last several years.
Democrat Bob Mills of Biddeford last week said he would seek his party’s nomination for the treasurer’s job in the June primary and then go on to run in the November election. Mills on Wednesday night said he still plans to run, referendum or not.
When commissioners reviewed starting salaries for all elected officials in 2014, they reduced the salary to $500 annually for any newly elected treasurer. Commission Chairman Sallie Chandler asked Zinser for a report on what options are available for the next meeting, set for March 7. Read more HERE
(In earlier reporting, states Mills of the stipend for the treasurer’s position, “the pay is not an issue.” How can Bobby Mills justify his qualifications, trustworthiness, honesty and public trust for position as County Treasurer with his “schemes” in Biddeford that command investigation?)
Title 30-A §156. Creation of position of appointed county treasurer
Update – DID YOU KNOW……
There is no County Treasurer’s Office on the York County Website.
“The treasurer does not have an office within any county government building. The duties are handled by our finance department.”
This begs the question: If “the treasurer does not have an office within any county government building and the duties are handled by the finance department” , why have an election for County Treasurer?
Maine 2018 Election
Bobby Mills, former City of Biddeford Councilor, is a candidate for York County Treasurer in the 2018 election.
Journal Tribune reports “Mills has thrown his hat into the political ring on a number of previous occasions. He began this election season thinking he would run for for the York County Register of Deeds position but withdrew, he said, when he realized it was a full time commitment (our emp) and placed his support behind Democratic candidate Rachel Sherman. Then, he considered a run for Maine House District 12, because he believes there is a need for a legislator involved in the education system, but said he likes Martin Grohman, who recently became an Independent, and decided the time commitment (our emp) if he were elected to the State House would be too much. “After months of wrangling with how and what I can offer in terms of community service for our city and county, I have filed for the open York County treasurer position,” Mills said. States Mills of the stipend for the treasurer’s position, “the pay is not an issue.”
At the onset of this election, Bob Mills registered as a candidate for REGISTER OF DEEDS, then withdrew.
He then registered for State House Representative as has now withdrawn his candidacy – 2.5.18
He has currently filed as a candidate for York County Treasurer.
If Bobby Mills’ participation/aiding and abetting in the theft of property, in concert with Maine-Ly Realty, City of Biddeford officials (behind closed doors) and others, is cause for concern relative to everyone’s property, how can he be trusted with your money “at the helm” in the Office of County Treasurer?
Is Bob Mills desperate?
How can Bobby Mills justify his qualifications, trustworthiness, honesty and public trust for position as County Treasurer with a background such as his?
A “full time commitment” is required of the County Treasurer…..it’s a full time job, like the Register of Deeds. (Correction – it’s a part-time position)
Is Biddeford City Councilor, Bob Mills, Controlling Local Government Rule Over HUD Grants?
Mills talks a good piece, but you can’t change the stripes on a tiger.
City of Biddeford Neighbors React To Heroin Arrest Near School
If his neighbors were aware of this activity, wouldn’t you think Bob Mills would also be aware? And taken immediate action as a sitting city councilor?
Where was Attorney General Janet Mills with all of this corruption? Doing what she does best…..covering up! To note, Janet Mills is a candidate for Governor in the 2018 election!
And who was mayor of Biddeford watching over this? Donna Dion…another 2018 gubernatorial candidate…where the “reign” (of terror) continues with Mayor Alan Casavant.
These are serious points to ponder come time for election.
Time to hang it up, Bob. You’ve done enough damage!
