Dear Taxpayers,
I have a question for you to research. How much money represents 1 percent of tax increase? Therefore, how much money represents 3.5 percent of tax increase proposed by Executive Hein? Let's find that amount of money in the proposed budget in order to make the proposed tax increase equal ZERO. We all know our Ulster County taxes are too high, so Why is the Ulster County Executive proposing to RAISE taxes even further?

Still looking into this, Ralph, and I WILL get back to you...
In the meantime, I thought you and those who follow this blog might be interested in this:
The UC Legislature plans to consider draft 1020 at its October 14th meeting entitled, "In Support Of The State Legislature’s Proposed Legislation 'People’s Convention To Reform New York Act.'"
Draft 1020 claims that this act permits the convening of a state constitutional convention, and two agenda items being proposed for the convention are:
1. state spending and property tax caps, and
2. restrictions on unfunded mandates
According to draft 1020, delegates to this convention cannot be current office holders, and the influence of political parties will be restricted.
What do you think?
Mark,
I would want to be very specific to correct some glaring problems that put taxpayers at a disadvantage.
1) Repeal Tri-borough amendment which says that teachers unions continue to get step increases irregardless of the state of new contract negotiations.
2) All Public employee union contract negotiations must give taxpayers specific bargaining issues which are being debated. (ie.Shine a light on the secret union deals). Similarly, drafts of union contract settlements must be available for public review prior to signing and ratification.
