In the suburbs, tax paying citizens vote on School Budgets.

I think that the only way to take control out of Albany, out of Erie County, out of Buffalo Common Council, and out of Unions is for the city Budget, the Police/Fire Contract and the Teachers Contract to be voted on via Referendum.

If the voters refuse a tax increase or borrowing for a state mandated service, a state mandated arbitrator, a city budget, or a contract.....then basically the state/county either funds it or the service is cancelled.

Its time for Buffalo to stop getting poor candidates that use the system for their own benefit.

Its time for the people who pay the taxes to start voting out our representatives and demanding a vote for all budgets and contracts!
