Monticello, NY - 4.9% Tax Increase
Monticello, NY - Monticello trustees passed a $6.1 million budget last night with a larger-than-anticipated property tax increase.
The increase is 4.9 percent next year, up from the original 3.6 percent proposed in the preliminary budget. The budget passed 4-0, without comment.
Later in the meeting, a half dozen residents blasted the board for the tax increase.
Trustee Scott Schoonmaker, a vocal critic of the mayor and village manager, missed the budget vote, arriving 10 minutes late for the meeting.
Mayor Jim Barnicle told Schoonmaker that the meeting started promptly at 7 p.m., and he knew that.
"I want it on the record that I am totally, totally against this budget," Schoonmaker said. "I have a complete lack of respect for this board and I think you should be ashamed of yourself to say that 4.9 percent is acceptable."

why are so many comments on this blogspot critical and cynical? If you don't have anything nice to say- dont say anything at all! siyag lachachma shtika. If someone didnt understand something the first time around doesn't mean you gotta go bashing him! and I'm not a regular blogger at all so I'm not answering any insults to me.
