Really love to read all the Soros/Alinsky socialists running with their screams of agony about how horrible it is to responsibly managing a town's finances. No one wants to take away schools. Just want schools to manage responsibly.
My observations of Mr.Katz are that he has always conducted himself professionally and factually. He has been attacked (see above) with baseless name calling and attacks on his character solely becasue his point of view differs (which is of Alinksy) rather than present "facts" of your own to refute his investigative discoveries of past "events".
It seems to me that we pay ONE tax bill. Yet there is one single department with a state law protected "Maintenance of Effort" clause preventing it's budget from being reduced, while this law has been used for this department to carry a surplus. A surplus? So, if there's a surplus in one department and another department needs money for a new roof, does it make sense for that department to propose a tax increase for the roof when that money is sitting in the other departments coffers?
There are numerous residents in Tiverton that were enticed to move to this town because of low taxes (self included) only to find that in a short period of time the taxes increased at higher rate than ever. It is bewildering that the "locals" were so desirable to have folks move in, and then act like we have no voice in how the tax dollar is spent. Most especially when by your own example (last ten years) you are completely unqualified to make these financial decisions.
Regardless of your slanderous comments against JK... he is an ELECTED OFFICIAL. WE are watching, WE are observing, WE will be looking to elect even more conservative town officials until we see the rates fall inline with services provided.
