while other cities across this country are scraping to get by, Bflo boasts a 76 million dollar surplus. Not concerned with a probable 18 million dollar cut in State aid for next yr.
How about putting some about 30 mill back into the infestructure OR demolishing the EAST side!
that means they dont owe any debt right. and they dont need state money. It's a joke to claim a surplus when you still have loans to pay off. how can they claim a surplus when they borrow money each year and receive state funds. If they truly have surplus then they should give back they money they collected or pay debt off
One good thing about growing old is your secrets are safe with your friends they can't remember them either
After they honor their contracts, give the rest back.
How about a tax cut for one of the highest taxed cities in the country?
People who wonder if the glass is half empty or full miss the point. The glass is refillable.

Not a bad idea, but if they lower taxes this year and the rev drops for next year, they'll just have to raise them again.
ISNT THAT WHAT BUDGETS ARE FOR????
IF THERE ...is a surplus. the tax rate should be reduced proportionately!!
AND if unexpected cost arise for following year..taxes should be increased as same.
WHY should they hold onto my money!!!!?
Well they should use your money to find ways to improve YOUR life oe improving roads, more police etc. yes we'd all like to have that money back, but that's not what you get when you elect dumbocrats!ISNT THAT WHAT BUDGETS ARE FOR????

It's not the city tax rate that needs cutting - it's the freakin' county tax - and - it's going up this year. City property taxes are being held as is for next year.

Sure...which city is that? You can't be talking about Buffalo, that's for sure!How about a tax cut for one of the highest taxed cities in the country?
First, the money from the state is what Buffalo pays to the state. Everyone pays into the state, and the state decides what to pay back.
Second, City taxes have been reduced 10% since Brown took office.
Take the surplus and "magically" turn the East, West and South sides of Buffalo into areas that we can TRULY "talk proud" about.
Seriously.
Coincidence is the word we use when we can't see the levers and pulleys.

Tax rates may have been reduced by 10%, but if property assessments have risen by more than 10%, it's nothing more than a numbers game.
the amount of money Albany sends Bflo will be frozen at last yrs level. No cut in aid. That is good news for the City. I know there are many that want the City to somehow fail, but it isn't going to happen in the near future. Financially speaking, even in these times, the City is doing fine, much better off than so many others. Not many others reporting to have a hundred million dollar fund balance.
