-The Township of Lakewood gave permission for the Lakewood School District to
utilize carryover funds, in the amount of $439,828.46
Once again, the township giving away our money for non mandated services and courtesy bussing of public school kids but charges the people who actually pay the property taxes for courtesy bussing.
ReplyDeleteThe "average increase" is baloney. It assumes a house assesed at $300,000. Almost no one has a house that price (except older townhouses). Most are at least $500k. Plus this is just the BOE increase. The township also voted to increase taxes. So all together, a house assesed at $500k will go up by over $500 per year.
ReplyDeleteRobin Hood robbed from the rich and given to the poor. here its robbing the poor and becoming rich
ReplyDeletewhatever happened with the lawsuit by Mr Lang to get more state funding and change the formula for Lakewood
ReplyDeleteHow much surplus does LSTA have by not paying for busing for these months
ReplyDeleteare they giving a prorated credit for the 150 fee
I vote absolutely NO! NO more increases! NO to iPads for all preschoolers and 1st graders. NO to insane law costs! ENOUGH!!! I live within my budget and so does the BOE. NO more increases . Also- why does the township raise my taxes but always seems to have MILLIONS to give out for “special” projects.
ReplyDeleteLSTA has an oversight committee it's called the igud
ReplyDeleteUntil we are willing to vote out those that keep increasing our taxes, we only have ourselves to blame.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Inzelbuch, A non elected Board of Ed attorney running meetings with staff almost every night on the scoop? Where is the elected Board? the board President? Shouldn't they be the ones making all the decisions? Something is not right.. What other town has the BOE attorney running the show? Where is all our tax money going?
ReplyDeleteboard members have no conscious and approved it with a simple yes vote
ReplyDeleteThey Follow orders like puppets this board is a joke it should be abolished and replaced with sesame street
