I have lived in the Falls since 1968. My great-great grandfather was one of the village founders. I have served the community in multiple ways: Firefighter, various boards and commissions and for many years was president of the Falls Cable Access Corp. Currently I own, and am active in, a restaurant equipment manufacturing company.
Hooray They're Here
What are here are our new property tax statements. And, I'm not really jumping for joy. In fact, I am downright dismayed.
All in all, the dollars I will pay out for my home next week are $222 more this year than last. I am paying more and getting less in return.
Another fee here, another fee there - they add up too. Dismal!
Our school test scores show that quality education is leaking away. Shameful!
To boot, my home is worth 20% less than it was a year ago should I choose to sell it. Oh, well - it could be worse. Thank goodness the federal government has no plans to increase spending and add new taxes.
