…and RW =BOE will piss it away on Social Justice Agenda Items , therapy dogs and other useless (and detrimental) BS
.
Watch…. our ranking WILL NOT materially improve due to this influx of cash
.
Reduce taxes on residents pro rata as a point of principle
Reduce my taxes
It’s not a lottery windfall, and its temporary
If I choose to waste my earnings the BOE won’t pay my taxes but they can dream up
any project or pet agenda and Bill the RIDGEWOOD taxpayers and that’s crap.
Year over year the budget will rise more than the increase in state aid, paltry to begin with.
Reduce my taxes?
Really?
What in God’s name makes you think that will happen?
Our school system budget, because you let it get there is
110 K a year…110 K?
And Juniors at Ramapo.
How’s that working out for ya?
