Passing the "buck"

Submitted by dseinfeld on Sat, 12/17/2011 - 14:08

The County Executive's plan to shift the evaluation and financial burden of tax certioraris to school districts to "cut taxes" is a mistruth. In actuality, the people's taxes related to this function will increase as the burden is shifted to school districts having each of the 54 school districts to create their own tax certiorari offices instead of the one office that the County runs. The increase in personnel needed to accomplish this task will increase significantly. We need to make this known to the populous. How do we do that?

Village taxes, for what?

Submitted by pstew96 on Wed, 05/29/2013 - 11:56

When I moved to Farmingdale village, the village taxes were a few hundred, but now I pay almost $1400 per year, and for what? They don't provide anything that the township does'nt provide, so what am I paying for? These municipalties are out of control with no oversight by anyone! Don't pay it, then out you go! This isn't peanuts we are talking about....
