Reply to comment by EyesOnImprovement in So who are we voting for that is not going rip us off blind w nonstop tax increases? by Accomplished_Day2991

The 4th quarter tax amount from the city was due to the city tax levy reverting to what it was in 2020. The 2021 City tax levy was lower due to the city using Covid funds to cushion the outrageous $1,000 BOE tax increase last year. How can voting for Alexander Hamilton and his two running mates be wrong? We’ve seen the outrageous BOE tax increases from the union backed board members. Let ‘s see how the board does when there is more accountability and oversight. The teachers union will be negotiating their contracts and we don’t need the board to rubber stamp whatever the union puts in front of them.

Then how was this a surprise to Fulop and the council? Explain that.

This wasn’t a surprise. It was mentioned last year that the offset for the BOE tax levy would only happen in 2021. What should happen is that the budget for both City and BOE should be set before the year begins.

The city budget was certainly a surprise to every member of the council, you'd think they and Fulop would have anticipated this, if what you are saying is true.
