Tax rate down in Seneca Co. budget draft

WATERLOO — Seneca County Manager Mitchell Rowe presented his first tentative county budget Tuesday, showing a slight tax decrease over 2012.

Spending is up $1.4 million, from $61.2 million to $62.6 million. But Rowe said he was able to use $4.7 million from the tax reserve fund and a projected increase of about $500,000 in sales tax revenue to keep the tax levy the same as this year, $9.4 million.

Since the county manager is recommending a small decrease, I don't see him as a tax and spend guy. I think any further revenues he would use to further reduce taxes. _________________________ Cayugas: $1 million unpaid property taxes by April in SC.

The county settles with the Cayugas for an annual stipend? How do you settle with the Cayugas when they can't even decide who their leader is? Any settlement would be meaningless to the next group to take over. And you now have two separate groups of Native Americans in the area, the Cayugas Nation and the Oklahoma Seneca-Cayugas both selling tax free cigs. _________________________ Cayugas: $1 million unpaid property taxes by April in SC.

Are Monroe County residents different than Seneca County residents on tax spending? http://www.democratandchronicle.com/inte...-spending-taxes Monroe County residents seem generally satisfied with how the government is spending their tax dollars, with respondents in a new poll saying they would maintain or increase spending in areas such as education, health care and infrastructure.

About 45 percent of those surveyed said they would favor an increase in education spending. _________________________ Cayugas: $1 million unpaid property taxes by April in SC.

Sam the Sham Sam the Sham Senior Member Registered: 04/14/00 Posts: 544 Loc: USA	The county doesn't pay for k-12 education. Even if Seneca County residents are just like the wealthier citizens of Monroe County, increasing the county taxes wouldn't translate into increased funding for local schools.

But my point is that the people support and want even more spending in these areas.
