Here we go ,here comes the bullshit. More fucking scams. Time to call in Montreal for wheel in Deland. We’ve seen this show a few times before. Wake up people
” Time to call in Montreal for wheel in Deland.” Need a translation on this .
Saurabh Dani is knocking it out of the park. Jeff Voigt looks like he is going to blow. So does Fishbein.
Shelia talking about the Orchard “don’t eat the dirt” project, lol should have done it 10 years ago
Shelia has got to go
shocking new BOE members know the numbers and know how to add , unlike previous trustees
Brogan puppets getting slammed
at this moment the issue is not why the budget was voted down, the issues is it was voting down , get to work, stop the excuse making or the undermining the voters
Wheeling and dealing, a.k.a. Monty Hall .
Jean theisen whining about how the budget has to be preserved as proposed. Um, no Jeanne. The public rejected it. It must be revised down. That’s how it works.
Jean Theisen thinks the voters are stupid, like they didn’t know what they were voting for.
Hey Jean, tough decisions need to be made by everyone during Covid. If the Board members are not up to it resignation is acceptable.
Thanks Jerry
What amount of dollar cuts would make you happy? Where do you wish those cuts to be applied?
it was a NO CONFIDENCE vote against the BOE
Sad the Council refuses to make tough decisions on the Village, NWBCCD and Ridgewood Water budgets during this pandemic.
Their 2% municipal tax increases and spend, spend, spend on Schedler, police & fire is what sacrifice exactly ?
Isn’t that a 2.2% increase from the Village? What are they cutting?
everyone is making cut backs so should the BOE
Taxpayers will receive a $30 deduction from a $254,000 budget cut.
Jeanne Thiesen, who are you and Stacey Loscalzo going to FILTER now???? Haha
since the reduction on your property tax is based on the assessed value of your home and not Seadon’s math dividing $254,000 by the number of households don’t start buying your lattes yet.
Listen to what Rooney the CFO said.
