One of the things that is not really touched an among the blogs is what the readers think should be the budget priorities for the upcoming year. I think that we can assume a nice little tax increase is coming our way. I have no real problem with a tax increase if I can trust that the priorities of the Borough are in the right place. The past 2 years has shown us that there is a real lack of vision as it pertains to the capital improvements of the Borough and its infrastructure. Just look around and tell me the last time you saw the streets being repaved or anything being done in a Borough park.
The Borough taxes are a relatively small part of our tax bill for the year. It does not help the bank account when PASD jacks their rate up every year also. We can deal with that issue later.
What are you willing to give up for the same tax rate as last year or what are you willing to pay for increased services?
