Vestal Taxes / Reckless Spending WRITE-IN FILIP FOR VESTAL SUPERVISOR

We are facing another Budget tax increase, in light of our property assessment which did not follow 
 the New York State Guidelines, nor adjust with the economy decrease of home values by 30%. Is against Governor Cuomo's recommendation, the 2% CAP. See last year water, now the sewage rate increase, TV cable, etc.
 
 How do we justify the continuous hiring of more people, (family, relatives, friends) so that our payroll, has not only doubled, but tripled by now, and is out of control. Each hire gets BENEFITS, medical insurance, personal days, retirement, vaccines, tests and annual salary increases. How many of us get those benefits?

I call this reckless spending! As the expenses, exceed the revenues, we have no choice but to borrow. Vestal Board has bonded over $25 MILLIONS, the future of our children, with no payback schedule in site. When the interest rates will increase, you better be ready for a Default, Bankruptcy and all the facing problems.

CANDLE HOUSE, litigation for more than 4 years, along with hundreds others, has milked Vestal, of tens of thousands of dollars, and now we have a law suit against us for $1 million. United Health Services is the latest law suit. Our Town attorney, who is supposed to avoid and prevent us from all these law suits, is doing exactly the opposite, promoting them, must be due to an ulterior motive. Now, he is also in charge, with flooding acquisition parcels, the F.E.M.A. money, showing clearly a CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

Last Spring the voters turned down the purchase of another $ THREE QUARTERS million  fire truck. Now it will be brought back on Nov/19/2013 for a referendum, not even an election day, Nov/05, which always draws more people to the polls.  The Vestal residents, deserve better than that, from our elected officials.

Please, voice your opinion.  Thank you, John Filip
