The tax levy is not the same as the tax rate is not the same as the budget increase/decrease.

Taxes still went up.

[buffalopundit]

Taxes still went up.

At a rate less than the rate of inflation, so technically nothing went up at all.

Wow, tell that to all the people who DIDN'T get a raise this year.

You mean like Senior Citizens?

No I mean everyone who doesn't work for Government Inc.

Maybe if the Supervisor ($76,538/yr) hadn't given himself two raises amounting to 3.7% since 2012, they'd have been able to better afford the extra $3.30/month on a $200,000 house.

I said people who DON'T work for Government Inc. Hartzell is a turd and needs to go. Giving himself a raise still doesn't address the problem of ever increasing taxes on people who don't see the same "adjustment for inflation" that you use as a defense and justification for taxes that just keep compounding.

Im not a partisan HACK like yourself Alan. 76k for the supervisor is outrageous, but your introduction of that into our conversation doesn't solve any of our problems, you know that.

It's so good that Lancaster wasted a million on replacing a perfectly good soccer field with one that contains a toxic substrate.

I'll bump this over here so Alan and the rest of the cheerleaders can read it.

Task Force Recommendations

The Rationale
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7WFaQNXETI

Audience Q and A- (90% of the audience is teachers, district employees, and of course our wisearce blogger friend. Tell your kid to sit still, the chair noise is distracting and annoying.)

You could fire four people in that room and easily save the district half a million in salaries alone. Tack on extra for all the benefits. There's your money to fix the roof.


Hey Alan, can you tell me how many "citizens" on this task force are employed or were employed by the Clarence School District?
