The Blair County Taxpayers' Alliance, which had hundred of members, raised a great deal of money in 2018 and 2019 to support a pro-taxpayer commissioner candidate that would work to correct the abuses & injustices of the 2016 re-assessment. Amy Webster, an attorney who had worked with the Alliance, seemed a promising prospect. She had attended Alliance meetings and had sometimes provided assistance to members appealing flawed tax assessments.

As the 2019 primary approached, Webster tossed her hat in the ring. The Alliance board voted 5-2 to support her (two board members instead supported Bruce Kelley). The group set up a federal PAC — Citizens Tax Policy Group — that enabled local people to donate anonymously without fear of establishment retribution. The PAC raised more than $85,000 to support Webster. Thanks in large part to a novel multi-media campaign created and paid for by the Alliance, Webster was by far the top vote-getter in both the Spring primary and the November general election, stunning and angering the local Republican elite.

Webster had promised the Alliance to undertake four specific tasks if elected:

• Investigate and report on the history and current contractual compliance of Evaluator Services & Technology, the company contracted to do the re-assessment, and publish the results. The public deserved a full report on how the company had acquired so much direct power in government. They also needed to know the real utility and value of the post-reassessment services EST was providing, and whether that contract could be terminated. Once elected, Webster never even began the project.

• Move to open up the County solicitor contract to competitive bidding. In 2019, Evey Black attorney Nathan Karn simultaneously served (and still serves) as solicitor for the County, the Borough of Hollidaysburg and several other municipalities in the County. The Alliance held him responsible for the inequitable contracts signed by the County. (There was also membership overlap between the Alliance and the anti-corruption group Hollidaysburg Community Watchdog, which had alleged that Karn's entrenched position in the courthouse had led to conflicts of interest and numerous appearances of impropriety.) Not only did Commissioner Webster never attempt to open up the solicitorship, she supported Karn's most flagrant intervention into the legislative process: the derailment of the 2nd Amendment Sanctuary Referendum.

• Improve government transparency and public participation. One reason the reassessment had gone so badly wrong was the absence of transparency. Even the most perfunctory compliance with the Sunshine Act was usually ignored as the commissioners allowed EST to draft County policy in its own interests. As commissioner, not only has Webster has done nothing to improve transparency, she has at least tacitly endorsed active efforts to curtail it. Under Webster's  watch, Southern Alleghenies Planning and Development Corporation (SAPDC)  — governed by the commissioners from six counties and a principal conduit of federal government spending into the county — is arguing in court that it is no longer subject to Pennsylvania's transparency laws, like the Sunshine Act and the Right-to-Know Law. This would allow it to avoid public oversight of the millions of dollars it spends every year. Worse, in 2020 SAPDC set up a 501(c)(3) "charity" called Alleghenies Broadband Inc. (ABI), staffed by its own employees and whose board was first chaired by Blair County Republican Party chairman Jim Foreman. ABI is now the exclusive distributor of tens of millions of dollars in federal spending for broadband internet development in the region. It is, in essence, a state-sponsored enterprise that directs the flow of federal money, picking winners & losers in the marketplace. It even produced a utility operating license for itself from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission So far, ever cent of ABI-directed money has gone into a single company. The Office of Open Records ruled that ABI was an "alter-ego" of SAPDC and subject to the Right-to-Know Law. With Webster approving in silence, SAPDC is spending tens of thousands of dollars to fight the ruling in court.

• To keep a close watch on, and improve the quality of, the County assessment appeals board. She did neither.
