Quoted from A Better Rotterdam
Obviously bad news for the town. Any idea how much the legal battle will cost?


Doesn't matter how much, there's plenty of money in the Highway Department's budget, and a little extra in Fire District 3 to cover the costs.  If worst comes to worst, we can just hold a referendum on another REMS taxing district, then raid it anytime we need money for unexpected legal costs.  To hell with the reserve balance, raiding taxing districts is the wave of the future.

I agree with Cicero -- there should be another vote for the Ambulance taxing district.  It was a great idea and should have been approved.

Interesting that they are seeking to reduce there assesment to 30million when this article states there new building 53 just cost 45million (listed at the way bottom of the article)?  Is building 53 in schenectady or Rotterdam?

What is most humorous is that this is what Bufarti is campaigning on.
They told us that at the rotterdam lwv's meet the candidates....bufarti showed some sympathy for ge...how they pay taxes and have no services.

So it appears that perhaps bufarti would suggest that schenectady county consolidate all essential services and service ge!

just think about that for a minute folks....it should be a scary thought..............THINK!

This will be terrible for property tax payers. The average person has no clue! The Paulino/Buffarti playbook says to go in and reduce GE's taxes yet doing so will shift the burden to the homeowners so no matter what rate the tax increase or decrease is next year, the taxes will skyrocket. The problem is that the average person does not understand how taxes are levied. And democraps prey on that stupidity.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

It is time to settle the tax dispute with GE -- dragging out the fight has only cost legal fees and lost opportunity for economic development.

I'm not 'putting you in your place'....this is the world I work in.....each individual is just that--INDIVIDUAL....I'm not hiding behind anything....I dont know what you do for a living and I hope you
love it....I like what I do but the 'system' and folks who have never exposed THEMSELVES to such things pisses me off.....it happens everyday/all day and for thousands of years...yet we
have 'purchased' ourselves out of reality.....

are you pissed at the teacher comment or the aged comment?
