Edison's '7 Processing Clerks' Amended Senor Lankey Muni Budget - 5.3% Muni tax Hike - Barf!

What the heck, it's only a Pandemic - so what's another 5.3% increase in your Property taxes from the Oligarchy over there at 100 Oligarchy Blvd.? 

The vote was 4 to 3 in favor of this amended budget. Really doesn't matter - a 4 to 3 Vote is just as good a a 7 to 0 one. For the record, Ship-Freeman, Brescher, Diehl and Gomez were the 4 in favor and Coyle, Patil and 'Big-boy' pants were the 3 opposed. You can tell all the Mayor-Wannabe's with this vote.     

Lankey's original budget came with a 9.9-cent or 7.28% tax increase and their amendment reduces the increase by 2.6-cents to 7.3-cents or 5.3%.

Here's there amendment:

 

You can see all they did was to increase the revenue. Appropriations stayed the same.

Here's the changes in the tax rates:

Normally, this is just business as usual for me in this one-party cesspool but it is worth noting that the reduction of 2.6-cents coincides nicely with the 2.9-cent understatement of the Muni tax in the 3rd Qtr estimated tax bills. At least you won't get hammered like you did last year with your 4th Qtr tax bill.

Anyhoo, you get the type of government you deserve here in the 'DemBadLands' of Downtown Edison and you just got some more of it. Enjoy.

Well, isn't this Special - Jerry 'ReferenDUMB-er' Shi using the School District Logo in his 'Edison First Team' Campaign ad!?!

 Well, a heads-up to the other 10 candidates running for the Edison Board of Education this November. Seems Jerry Shi and his 'Edison First Team' are using the School District's Logo on their campaign ad.

That seems a Tad Bit Not Right - is the School District now endorsing the 'Edison First Team?' 

Let's hope not.

Didn't know the School District Logo was up for rent. Go figure.

And now this from the guy who wasted two years and led the most dismal failure in the history of the School District:

Anyhoo, be good to know what Super Dr. Bernie 'ShiReferenDUMB-ER' Bragen thinks about this going forward.

Wait, I gotta Stop Laughing - Jerry 'Needs to Step-down' Shi wants to be Rewarded for his inept leadership!?!

Wow, there's something you don't see everyday. Jerry the 'Referen-DUMB-er' Shi is running again for the Edison Board of Mythomania. With a record as ineffective as his including a grossly ineffective and twice failed attempt to fix the overcrowding that wasted years, along with all the millions he's claimed to have Saved for the taxpayers (in his own mind), you'd think he'd just go away quietly with his head down.

Nah. He's running on a ticket 'Edison First Team for Board of Eduction' and unless you've been out of town for the last couple years, he's the Last Guy you'd want to let stay on a now Dysfunctional Board that he gets credit for creating.

And let's not forget who he brings along with him to this Dem-party infested Board of Dysfunction:

Yeah, that's what you want to continue with - a Stench that Still Lingers over this town.

Anyhoo, time to clean house over there on Mythomania Lane and what better way to start than to send Jerry 'Needs to Go Away" Shi into retirement.

Edison Board of Mythomania's Revised School Aid - Cut by $2,966,942

Well, looks like the Board of 'Taxpayer Un-friendlies' just got a Wake-up call. Seems their original State aid of $27,319,478 was revised down to $24,352,526. 

Instead of a $4,348,992 or 18.9% increase over last year's $22,970,486, they'll have to settle for an increase $1,382,050 or 6.0%.

Boo hoo..boo hoo - that's less money they'll have to waste, and that's one way to cut out the Bloat and Over$pending in that Ridiculously High Pandemic Budget they put out this year.

But have no fear, they're sure to find a way to add it back to your school taxes - one way or the other.

Here's the Revised School State Aid Numbers:

Anyhoo, it's bad enough we're all having to deal with the financial and health concerns with this virus and Ridiculously high property tax increases to boot here in 'Downtown Edison' - but it's another to know we have to deal with the fact that the Board of Mythomania wasted two years and failed to fix the overcrowding while hiring, an arguably, $245K Mistake in Super Dr. Bernie 'ShiReferen-Dumber' Bragen.
