I get that for sure. My statement was regarding if I vote no on the proposed budget it still climbs about 9% and I onl save 0.21% from the proposed to the contingency budget. IMO that’s taxation without representation.
Wow. 8.39% school tax increase possibly coming in my town

The school district here always gets what they want. Rarely is any tax increase voted down. And if it is they will keep putting it up to a vote until it passes. They got the $6 million for some insane sports complex by manipulating the numbers to make it look like such a great deal to the taxpayers. And of course it’s for the children…all the children that go on to be professional athletes. Which we did have someone (1 person, uno, singular human) go pro in soccer some years back.
Meanwhile there are windows and doors where snow blows in, shop classes are a shell of what they used to be and the boilers are held together with bubblegum and duct tape. But, you know, priorities.

Just like every other politician. And if they are unpaid, they are there for the power and prestige, and in this state, they keep that by siding with the union and administration.

Correct. They want to vote out the fiscal conservative because she won’t spend the money like they want her too and she voices her opinion on the number of poor and seniors we have on fixed income.

They did the same here with combining schools and having to build this on large complex. They said it would save us money so I said ok, I’ll vote for this increase, but not a single one after it for ten years then. Taxes have gone up since then and they just sent out a mailer that the project is on time and on budget? Really no one else’s projects are on time or on budget, but this one is even with a container of supplies starting on fire?
NY #1 in spending, #9 in edumakain.
When do the, bonds, etc, run out? Never see the tax decrease.
What happens to the maintenance budget; rolled into general budget.
Why can't they ever show an actual budget when requested.

Yes we maybe #9 is your combine college and city schools, but when looking at schools without colleges last I looked we were 25th. The colleges really bring us up, but my tax dollars do go to colleges for the most part. These taxes go to no college.
