Can someone explain how a 3.92% increase meets the 2% tax cap criteria?
Archie Bunker May 13, 2013 at 09:18 pm
The last answer is troubling .... How does a 2% cap translate into a 3.29% increase
All this means…Read More is more money for the teachers and a candidate who never saw a tax increase she didn't like

The Port Washington School District, like many others on Long Island is a ineffective, bloated…Read More bureaucracy
Consolidate the districts down to two or three and get rid of all the layers of mis-management
Then maybe, I will vote for the budget

Lies. Public education is a blithering mess, some great teachers, and a whole lot of incompetent…Read More and lazy administrators, drugs, gangs, apathy to violence in the schools. I'm a victim of the Port Washington schools, no one should be subject to those losers. Besides, if putting educated professionals into the community is the goal, this system has failed miserably, because of the high taxes, due in part to the school tax components, none of us can afford to move back and fund the next generation.

Of course you have to pay school taxes, whether you CHOOSE to pay private tuition or not. The public…Read More education system exists in the state's interest to create a pool of educated people to perpetuate itself (which is what every government does, and should do). You don't like it (and I can tell you Port's is very good indeed), and prefer a private school, that's YOUR issue, not mine. Vouchers are too often used in religious schools, and that is a First Amendment issue. You pay for it, don't expect me to. Bad enough we have to pay busing for private schools.

Canon received about $100 million in government aid, including tax breaks from New York State and…Read More Suffolk County, and an extra lane on each of the Long Island Expressway service roads. In return you got not new jobs, but just a relocation of existing jobs from four offices in Lake Success and one in Manhasset.
Canon “hopes” to add 750 more jobs within 10 years. Wait and see if that happens. Bottom line is that you paid Canon $100 million to keep, not add, 1300 jobs, about $80,000 a job. What a good deal.
Wee Little Heart, is that all you got.
