Thanks a bunch!

The board also reduced the tax rate, so that property with an assessed value of $100,000 would experience a $20 reduction. Board members said they hope the measure can provide some relief to taxpayers.

After some number crunching, without even breaking out the handy dandy calculator, I found that I’ll have an extra buck a week in the budget. That is until they reassess.

Maybe once a month I’ll take the boys to Once Upon a Child and they can choose a shirt to share. This is just fantastic!

Hooray.

Actually, I’m quite happy they didn’t raise the rates.

This area is growing. The new projects will be funded with alternative financing. While not my first choice, it does make sense. In the next few years, when new developments are completed, there will be pressure on our schools. Unfortunately, I think my kids will still be assigned to Whitesville Elementary and I am not pleased with the prospect.

I guess if I was as concerned as I sometimes think I ought to be, I’d make a better note of when the meetings occur.
