How much are the average property taxes?

If people vote no, it's because they can not afford these increases. Don't be upset with them, be upset at the school districts and unions for being so wasteful. We are talking about a middle class neighborhood here, how can people just come up with this $$ ?

Taxes in my area are 12k + , I wouldn't blame people for voting down the budget here!

I don't think that's always the case. Manhasset's budget failed too, and that is a very affluent town.

I think a big part of the reason why budgets fail is because A LOT of residence don't vote. Also, saying that you wish you would have researched it more....these budgets are rolled out to he public usually in the winter. Everything is spelled out there in black and white. Placing blame on the teacher's pensions isn't going to change things, so voting no for that and their salaries as a reason is just silly. It's only hurting the kids in the long run.
People have to go to their BOE meetings and realize that a lot of these things aren't imposed by the district but by New York State. And for what it's worth...teacher's live on Long Island too...meaning...we also pay taxes!! We're not exempt, so we feel the pain and burden just like you private sector folks

Yes, there are 55,000 registered voters in Sachem and only 12,500 voted

We need to get the word out for the contingency!!!!! I can't see 3.14 not passing but we have to advertise June 18th everywhere.

YES and we need people to get out there EXPLAIN to the tax payers WHAT they are voting on. All they saw was 7.49% and more money coming out of their pocket.
I think the middle schools closing would be great and might help a great deal.
Are you on Sachem Mom's fb?
