That is the only answer they have. Raise taxes. Couple this with the new tax structure and it shows you how bad it is to conduct business in NYS.
You are kidding me right?The 100 percent assessment makes it easier for some folks to understand their tax bills and exactly what they’re paying,” said town councilman Brian Nowak.
Does Brian realize that the "total" on the bottom of the tax bill is pretty easy for "folks" to understand?
The reason we really are paying more is because the budget keeps increasing due to labor contracts. If everyone's property value doubled the tax rates would just be a lower number to generate the required budget. Correct?Although this means high property values for many, it also means people will be paying more in their property tax bills.
If the budget is 50,000,000 million it's still 50,000,000 even if every property value in town doubled. If every property doubled it doesn't mean the Cheektowaga Democratic Party would receive $100,000,000 dollars to spend. Correct?
Does Croce understand the Cheektowaga Democratic Party's hands are tied?“It went basically from $48,000 to $78,000 and then raised it again to $87,000. I told them, they want my house for that much, they can buy it because it won’t sell for that much,” said Croce.
I wonder if Mr Nowak reads speakup....Councilman Nowak told News 4 the town board is still weighing their options whether to assess just commercial properties or to include residential homes.
Figure out how to privatize services and/or lower labor costs. Do what ever is needed to accomplish this. The property owners of Cheektowaga are not an employment agency for the friends and family plan of Cheektowaga.
