This is a great opportunity to be involved. Just want to let you know that Supervisor Lanzetta met with the School Board last night and the Town and the School will be setting up a panel discussion on Property Tax Reform. Both the School Board and the Town Board believe we cannot continue to fund public education on the backs of property owners. We also need to end the nonsensical unfunded mandates that hamper our ability to conduct business in a common sense manner.
Because of the elections, and the need to involve our State elected representatives, we will probably shoot for a date in mid-January. We will keep everyone informed. In the meantime, if you want to learn more go to:
