The all-Krat town of Niskayuna Town Bored announced another 5.5% tax hike on top of the 10% County hike announced by Sue Savage {D-Niskayuna}. Last year the all-Krat Town Bored raised taxes by over 9.9%. In just two years Town/County taxes have been raised over 25% plus a town wide reassessment!

     Quote of the month from Bored member Ms. O'Donnell; "to find a functional level of service and a manner of service delivery that we want to aspire to and then leverage our existing staff with their many years of experience, to most effectively and efficiently serve the residents of the town."

     Translation into English-"we refuse to lay off anyone and will raise taxes again despite pleas from many residents". Since Ms. O'Donnell is up for re-election next year she pulled a Finn and voted against the budget!

It spreads like a fungus. And so the people voted them in and this is what they got! Perhaps they will smarten up come the next election cycle.

they had to make up for the years and years of the repubs mis - managing the whole thing over there and wasting the money are you nuts?

It depends on who thinks they can afford it and want to pay for it......and.....if they are the leaders too.....whoever controls the money (or has the $)
controls the masses.....
