Tiger Team : Readers say Village fiscal irresponsibility has reigned supreme
The Tiger Team has put in “black and white” what we all know has been going on in the Village since the Village Hall fiasco , a reign of fiscal irresponsibility dating back to Mayor Jane Reilly .
The one thing they didn’t seem to touch on was the over spending with village capital projects ,the $ 9 million waste with the Village hall or the $400,000 toilet in vets field to name a few.
But don’t you dare touch the holy grail ( the bd of ed ) in federal politics social security has always been the 3rd rail of any political career. In local politics education is the same thing. Beating up on cops, and garbage men, or street workers, never really stirs up too much controversy, but start picking on the school system and all hell breaks loose.
The Village is taking a serious looks at its financial situation and all we get from the school board (BOE) is Michele Lenhard spearheading a drive to jack up the superintendents salary !
The school budget is important. But, taxpayers pay for 100% of the property taxes. So, everything needs to be examined. This group (The Tiger team) was only asked to look at the municipal budget. Perhaps the outcome from their recommendations will lead to similar efforts with the BOE. We can only hope…
that was scam from the get go. all that money and the place is still not done. go look at the old roof. what a waste. who was the people in charge of this.
Tom Richie was on the council at the time, Pat Mancuso, and Bob Miller were also in office and Larry Worth was the village manager at the time he followed Rodney Irwin. Then Jim TenHoeve followd larry. What a mess. That project started out to be 2.3 million to repair the cost elevations reportedly came out of numerous change orders.
