Democratic Lies to Scare Cheektowaga Residents

[mesue]

Notice that I got a used one. NOW they're frugal?
Was This paid for by taxpayer dollars on taxpayer time?

[WNYresident]

Who is the Cheektowaga Team?

It's a matter of opinion of what the cost of services are, not about cutting them.

The democrats need to stop misleading our community. Bad role models for the kids.

So this is where cheektowaga team is based out of?

[mesue]

I want to know where the republicans said they were going to close the senior center or anything else that this says the republicans are going to do?

[WNYresident]

So was that mailer sent to each registered democrate in cheektowaga? How many are on that list?

[Benjamin]

The fear tactic smells of desperation best they can do Sanitation cuts bulk collection
Hell Teds going to bid it out and everything will be taken every week including grass in the Summer
We are the only town were grass is collected. Its in the Union contract full timers dont have to lift it

[WNYresident]

More of it in the Cheektowaga Bee




Look at the example



Technically they are not lying. They are mis-leading our community.


What are we charged per $1000? And comparing to other high taxes towns means nothing. We can easily pick 3 other towns that are lower.

Lets review who is running against Mary and crew



I don't know if Hamburg is the only town that has kept the budget within line or how other towns are.

Is it true that from 2006 until 2011 the budget has increase about 10,000,000 ?

Is it true our population is declining?

[WNYresident]

I'd like to know if someone one on our town board can finally stand up and tell the rest of the crew to stop misleading our community. To sit by and watch this crap happen because of politics make you no better than the people doing the misleading.

it looks like holtz's bar graff is very misleading. Amherst tax rate is only $4.16 per thousand and Cheektowaga's tax rate is $15.787 per thousand. Tonawands's homestead tax rate is even less at $13.71 per thousand. this is from the Erie County Dept. of Real Property Tax Services website:

I'm a registered Independent.

[WNYresident]

I'm registered IP. I didn't think it was addressed to me.. I will look tomorrow..

So who is the "cheektowaga team"... who funds them? Can we find out by the postage permit printed on the flyer? permit 4582 I think.

not once did I hear anything about letting go of any housing inspectors ( I think we have two) or cut down on crime prevention from the republicans..Not once.. And if I heard that I would question it.

what is rate of assessment in those towns? last time i checked, amherst was at 100 Percent -- cheektowaga much lower. usually, your tax rate is higher in towns that aren't at 100 percent because you're not being taxed at the real value. hope that made sense..

Actually, I believe that the lower percentage is used in order to confuse the comparisons to other towns. However, I have seen comparisons of the total tax levy on a $100,000.00 home across towns and Cheektowaga's districts are higher than most, in fact Cheektowaga has 4 of the top 6 highest property taxes in Erie County!!!

Erie County Town Tax Rates: The top 10 in 2011
Rank Municipality 2011 2010 2009 2008
1 West Seneca 17.12 17.25 17.39 17.38
2 Town of Cheektowaga 15.78 15.15 14.53 14.17
3 Village of Sloan (Cheektowaga) 14.42 13.88 13.31 13.09
4 Village of Williamsville (Cheektowaga) 14.42 13.87 13.31 13.09
5 Town of Tonawanda (Homestead) 13.71 13.55 13.29 12.38
6 Village of Depew (Cheektowaga) 13.03 12.48 11.99 11.72
7 Hamburg 8.96 8.99 8.99 8.99
8 Evans 8.01 7.81 7.66 12.53
9 Village of Angola 7.51 7.19 7.08 11.77
10 Aurora 6.79 6.19 5.68 5.39


Why 4 of the top 6? Just look at the comparison of median income disparity between residents and employees of Cheektowaga!

Households of Cheektowaga for 2009 (Source: US Census Bureau - www.census.gov)
Median Income (wages only, does not include health and fringe benefits) $45,155

Dear John,

I would like to inform you about something going on in our community.


When you have time please go read this thread.

I believe you produce this:

http://www.lawlips.com/2011-10_Oct_Town_Park_Nwsltr.pdf

I think you should inform our community about the current inept management practices by our current town board.

and this item has your return address on it.

http://www.speakupwny.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=208409

Why would you send this out and mislead our community?

Maybe instead of speaking of HamburgerLand you should do an issue about "Pinocchio Ville".

The flyer that we got was addressed to a democrat not me.
