Friends in high places!

Probably more like "spies in high places".

Amazing what can be found. Bet they didn't want this released yet.

Probably because it is NOT finalized yet .. so what you are posting may not even be accurate,

It is a starting point for the public

Government should be open

If they make changes they can post them

No one is stopping that

2010 modified vs what they expect to spend next year

It is your(any town resident)  money, it is my money, we both should know where it is going


How goes the CSEA contract?????

i hear the 2011 budget was submitted to the town clerks (office) today

no CSEA  raises which will mean arbitration and in the end cost the town more  - but this years go team will have held the line on increases  

at least $400k to the fund balance this year alone  and from the numbers I've seen $500k of fluff and $200k for legal stupidity for next year
  
following the federal administrations wish for inflation, no contracts this year could end up costing the town tax payers far more in the future

del gallo and godlewski - save today so we can spend tomorrow at 2x the price

Aren't the rotterdam taxpayers paying for a financial advisory firm from clifton park? Perhaps they will help in the budget process, huh?

Too bad the meeting is a 6pm - no way I will make it.

If you go and get numbers post them
