Senior citizens that bought their house 40 years ago for around $18,000 are now paying property taxes on the value of the land around $1,000,000 due to rich people moving into the neighborhood and putting up new mansions. These new neighbors tend to have kids and vote to increase the property tax for school projects.

The next time your town asks you to raise your taxes to pay for another school project, tell them “NO”. Tell them to cut out waste and reduce administrator salaries.
Tomorrow we will look at how and why senior citizens are forced to move or starve to pay for always increasing school projects.

As school administrators continue to get outlandish salaries in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, they also continue to beg the taxpayers for more tax money. They never cut out waste and balance their own budgets. In fact most communities have seen a 40 – 70% increase in property taxes in the past ten years. To make matters worse, most families have not seen their income increase by that same amount. People on fixed incomes see their standard of living go down with every school money grab.
Tomorrow we will take a look at how much property taxes to pay for schools have gone up over the last 10 years.

In addition to the tax increase to pay for non-residents, Brookline MA also will be asking voters to approve $49,850,000 to renovate the Devotion School. Yes you read that correctly. Almost fifty million dollars! The extras they want include a new kitchen and café, a new gym with smaller attached fitness room, and 2 pre-kindergarten classrooms. They even plan on putting in an underground garage.
This spending spree will raise the taxes for each homeowner by $208 for 25 years beyond the thousands they are currently paying. If these people in Brookline have their way, each homeowner will have to pay an extra $658 ($450 covering non-resident students in the school system and $208 for the renovated school) in taxes beyond the thousands they are currently paying each year.
Tomorrow we will look at how much money they have already grabbed and wasted on outlandish administrator salaries.
