We can no longer afford to sit back and have a government that seeks to punish hardworking property owners with a state of intolerable property taxes. While I understand it is necessary to surrender up a part of our property for the means to protect our rights and freedoms. Residents of Orangetown desire a government that provides the greatest benefit with the least expense. Politicians who are incumbents fear constituents who are informed and involved in the poltical process. Our county has been corrupted by play for pay and political patronage. Who’s interests is being served by increasing county property taxes by 48% combined over the past two years alone? Career politicians usurp the power of the majority by pitting special interest groups against their political opponents. Now is the time to act so that future generations will continue to have the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the US Constitution.This window of opportunity is shrinking due to the fact that our leaders are spending at rate that is not sustainable.
