To the Editor:
The importance of this Village election cannot be overstated. Your vote will be the difference between much higher taxes, more Village debt or financial stability for the Village. The choices are quite clear: implement a sensible financial system that will keep taxes reasonable, keep village debt down and carefully monitor where are taxes dollars are being spent OR continue on our current path of diverting taxes dollars away from vital village services for the DPW building repairs, taking on more debt and making unauthorized transfers without accountability.
Please remember for the Village to bond more debt the board needs four votes. The reason why we do not already have another $500,000 in village debt already is because of Trustees Gosda and Argenio. Please do not give them the four votes.
Just read Trustee Kane’s profile. He is coming right out and telling you all the money he wants to spend and the debt he wants the Village to bond: $400,000 for the DPW building, secure funding for the Master Plan, and the reality of Capital expenditures that have to take place (code: more debt and higher taxes). When someone tells you they want to raise your taxes and saddle the village with more debt please believe him.
Jan Smith worked at West Point as an accountant and an auditor. She understands accounting principles and financial control systems. Barbara Gosda has been asking the tough questions about our finances since she took office. Please put this village on the road to financial sanity by voting for Gosda and Smith on March 20th.
