We still have to vote on these increases, don't we? At least in Lancaster we do.
Notice how conveniently they didn't mention when the school budget voting is?
By the way, most of the increases go to teacher's pension increases according to the article I read in the Buffalo News. The School Board had to cut some athletics and music budgets so the teachers can make sure their precious pensions are fully funded.
If the taxpayers don't scream and holler over this, then we are a lot dumber than the politicans we've elected!
