BOE EXPRESSES UNCERTAINTY REGARDING POTENTIAL TAX SHIFT FROM GWL PLANT RAMP-DOWN

Picture
January 20, 2014 -- Despite receiving “oral assurances” from county officials in the Assessor’s and Executive’s Office that the decommissioning of the Glenwood Power Plant would not result in an enormous tax shift to homeowners and businesses for the 2014-15 school tax levy, School Board President Herman Berliner expressed "nervousness" at Thursday’s Board of Education meeting that, without a written assurance, the worst case scenario of a 15-19% spike in school taxes was still a possibility for next school year.   The concerns dominated the comments following the initial draft budget presentation given by Schools Superintendent Dr. Edward Melnick and came up in questioning from the audience. READ MORE
