Amityville Budget

[Unregistered6930]

27.41 Tax Hike, are they kidding.

$570,000 for pensions and insurance, we all know costs are going up but this is out of control.

They need $410,000 to fund sick and vacation time payouts to 2 retireing officers. This money should have been in the resurve fund already, the comptrolers office is going to have a field day with this.

Does their Fire Dept have a service awards program, is it fully funded?

Think any of this has to do with the big building they just built and all the black and white (small town feel) police cars

[News Flasher]

good idea, but villages aren't allowed to have reserve funds for retirement benefits.

The cops in Amityville bring in more money in ticket revenue then they earn.

Yes they are. And almost all do have a certain amount put aside for compensated abscenses which is what this is. Check with NYCOM of The Village Officials Association. Your wrong on this one and the Board should have been planning for this.

Drop the costly village. Suffolk County is good enough for 1.6 million other people to live in.

Dump your stupid capitalization of every word too. You don't represent anything but a Richard.
