School Board budgets aren't voted on by taxpayers any more. Haven't been for about a decade. So they are whatever the school board decides they are subject to an annual cap on the increase. The recent vote wasn't for the school budget. It was for the issuance of special bonds for long term debt. |

| You have to understand that your Taxes go for Township employees payroll and pensions, there isn't anything left after that so Bonds are necessary. |

Correction to the above poster, you have to understand that your taxes mostly go to unfunded state mandates and after that there isn’t much left for even toilet paper.
For example, every town since the 60’s has had to pay for an elevator inspector even though the township had no elevators until the 1980’s. |

What's the problem here, you pay too much in taxes?
Or are you just complaining to complain? |
