Subject:  Political season in full swing

 

Hello everyone, I hope things are well with you. This is my first time to send you a message about my campaign. My yard signs are up and I’m almost done going door to door and the reception has been great.

 

I would like to   extend  a special thank you to those of you who have donated to my campaign, and helped me in any way may it be by word of mouth, displaying my signs, disturbing the first drop off of literature. A special thank you to the Democrat County Committee, City Committee and Working Families Party, and to the Independents   (Better Batavia).

 

Well I have been attending the 2010 budget conference meetings and am surprised that there will be an increase in the Tax rate of 22% to offset increased levy.  

 

The dollar amount on the Property Tax is increased by $ 2.14

 

2009 Estimated Property Tax Rate based on the requested budget is now $ 11.96

 

The increase  in Property TAX  is unacceptable for working families.   We need to downsize government.

 

This budget does not include the 2010 CSEA General Unit increase . The CSEA workers are working without a contract which also is unacceptable

 

Genesee County will continue to receive an extra 1% sales tax and .25 mortgage tax.   That will go for another two years. If elected I would approve the local law enacting the tax extensions from the State.

 

Well I think I have said enough today and hope to have other news soon so in the mean time I wish you peace and God Bless America.
