School Capital Project Tax Increase Meeting Today

Today (Saturday), at 10AM at the RJ Bailey School is the only weekend daytime meeting to hear about the roughly $800 tax increase per year residents and businesses of the Greenburgh Central School District's referendum proposal. 

Today's meeting starts at 10AM, but will go longer because they are then planning to bus anyone interested to tour the campus and show those interested the facilities they intend to change.

Other dates for a similar meeting without any tours will be:

Thursday, January 29 - 7 p.m., @ The Greenburgh Public Library
Tuesday, January 31 - 7 p.m. @ Highview Elementary School
Thursday, February 7 - 7 p.m. @ The Theodore Young Community Center

So far two meetings have taken place. The second one found that those from either the school (of which we felt were about half the crowd), school Board or architects and designers were well prepared with seemingly "canned" answers. When it was touted how well they were doing and were currently achieving "x" under these seemingly strenuous conditions, they gushed, "Imagine how much better we could do if..." The previous meeting gave them the resistance questions and points and they were ready for those. 

This Saturday meeting promises and even better prepared team with the same home court advantage. They don't seem interested in what the taxpayers feel. Come to this meeting and let them know. It's the only way to get A Better Greenburgh.

  1. The historically negative bend of this blog is disturbing in it's perpetual fear mongering. My dearest hope is that those drawn here take a moment to review other opinions and that they don't this blog owners screeds as "fact".
