Living in one of the 'richest" towns in the county, my Town Board and it's town workers get paid more then any other Town employee in a 3 county area? My town has to have a new truck every year,or some other piece of equipment. My Town Highway Superintendent does not lift a shovel, yet gets paid close to $65,000 a year. My town raised the 2% Tax Cap to help pay the bills then gave hefty raises and now every taxpayer in this town will be penalized by not getting the Tax rebate checks for doing so. Between the Property tax Rebate and then the School Rebate we lose about $300.00 each. So much for keeping it's residents here.Norie61https://www.blogger.com/profile/11981973204813095481noreply@blogger.com
