What can we expect from a 50 year old "man" who cannot support himself, has not yet left the nest?
A 50 year old little boy who does not have the slightest understanding, the slightest comprehension of the FACT that there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between tax LEVY vs tax RATE vs tax BILL
The ONLY one that counts is the tax BILL which is the money that the taxpayer has to pay, the money that the taxpayer writes out the check for. But then, a 50 year old so called "man" who is NOT a homeowner, is NOT a taxpayer, does NOT have his name on the tax roll, of course would not understand the truth or the FACTS.
So embarrassed that he is ONCE AGAIN PROVEN WRONG, that he will NOT use the phrase "tax BILL" in addressing the taxes. He uses words that have very LITTLE relationship to the money the taxpayer must pay.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
The nayboobs have been proven wrong and they can't stand it. The FACT is that over the past 30 years the city school district had the lowest average tax rate increase in the Capital District. That means that for 30 years the district's school superintendents and school boards have been very cautious to raise the tax rate, They haven't gone around raising tax rates like crazy. The nayboobs would have you believe the opposite is true. However the nayboobs are nothing but nasty, always-negative, lying terrorists hell-bent on tearing down our community. The nayboobs are like verminous rats - hiding in the dark (behind usernames) and only coming out under cover of darkness to terrorize and destroy. No one said that everything is rosey or perfect in our community. However, we do know that what is broken or bad in our community can always be overcome by what is good and constructive in our community. Just ignore the nayboobs. The City-County of Schenectady is a great place to live and we have great schools (great students, great teachers/staff/administrators) including our city school system. We can and we will improve our schools and community. We can be very proud to be Schenectadians.

Oh get ready DV. By the end of tonight I am going to prove you wrong using some actual real numbers from a local school district. What it will show is that you don't have the remotest idea what you are talking about -- because you DON'T have the remotest, slightest idea what you are talking about!

M/c, do not bother. Everybody knows that he has no idea what he's talking about. The people who live in, pay school taxes in the district, send their kids to school in Schenectady will be the ultimate judges of the accuracy of such an article, not some man-boy who has never even paid a share of a rent bill. For someone who likes to throw around a meaningless phrase like "bottom line" in an attempt to sound knowledgeable, he does not comprehend that in this instance, it is literally the 'bottom line' that counts; the line that says "pay this amount" on the actual tax bill. He's probably never seen one.

DV, as I do not live in the city of Schenectady, I don't have the numbers readily available.
However, I want you AND ONLY YOU to explain this!
The tax rate for Mohonasen in the 2004-2005 school tax year was $471.82
The tax rate for Mohonasen in the 2014-2015 school tax year is $17.02
So DV, that means the tax rate for Mohon has gone down BIG TIME in 10 years, right????????
NO, I did NOT reverse the tax years.
Ten years ago the tax rate was $471 and in ten years it has been reduced to $17
Well, DV???????
Well?????
What is your response?
These two images are from our actual Mohon school tax bills
This first image is from the school tax year 2004-2005 (sorry some of the "paid" stamp is over the tax rate, but you CAN still see it):
This second image is from the current school tax year 2014-2015 :
So DV, are you going to avoid explaining this because you don't know what you are talking about AND because I am ONCE AGAIN proving that YOU are the one that is WRONG
Please DV, promise us, tell us, that you, yourself, are NOT actually taking care of a family this week. I'd feel very sorry for them. (thank you cuz)

No, again, YOU have bee proven wrong and you cant stand it. PROOF is that you won't even address the Mohon tax rate and provide an explanation.
You are such an imbecile, uneducated fool that you just cannot even address the FACTS. A sample tax rate issue is put in front of you and because you are NOT a homeowner, and NOT a taxpayer, you cannot speak about it and explain it.

YOU and your two mommies are NOT Schenectadians. And the EVIDENCE over the years has PROVEN that you want NOTHING to do with living in the city of Schenectady. You REFUSE to buy a house IN Schenectady. You REFUSE to even rent IN Schenectady.
The tax maps are the EVIDENCE, the OFFICIAL MUNICIPAL GOVERMENT RECORDS that PROVE that you do NOT live in Schenectady!!!!!!!!!!!
AND the tax maps are the EVIDENCE, the OFFICIAL MUNICIPAL GOVERMENT RECORDS that PROVE that you do NOT even work IN Schenectady.
Now, I DEFY you to provide one teeny weeny shred of evidence that proves us wrong, DV.

proof? no facts of course....simply more non taxpaying leach babble
That's right. DV has no proof of ANYTHING he writes. NEVER provide any proof.

Ya think?
On the other hand, having read this thread (pretty much like having a root canal without anesthesia) from the start, I'm pretty much convinced that DV has been playing those two like a fiddle. He's sitting back laughing like hell seeing how many times the two dimwits will reply with their bold, colored and large text. And with each reply he's laughing at how angry they get, can almost see the spittle on their monitors. He's laughing at how dim witted those two are. Pretty funny
"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,"
So DV/Alva thinks he's being clever trolling M/C making stupid statements? It isn't funny, DV, you stink up the boards with your immaturity. BT, I've often thought that it would be interesting if you could switch the student bodies of Niskayuna in their entireties with Schenectady's schools. The only way kids would do any better at Niskayuna would be if you only sent SOME of them over there, the ones whose parents value an education for their kids, and know what that means. I voted no on the budget because of the addition of all the 'behavioral' positions. Leaving the kids who are disruptive or who can't learn for other reasons right in the same classrooms just plain doesn't work, no matter how many "experts" you hire.
