Tom DeCastro, the new City School District Board of Education member steps up and shows why he never should of been elected. This fool will spend, spend, spend. He lacks the intelligence of a common garden snail.
He votes to approve raises for Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Cathy Chamberlain and Assistant Superintendent for Business Pete Colucci, and then says "It seems to me, if you’re going to go to the public and ask them, on top of the budget, for an additional $300,000, then why are we getting all upset about basically $6,000?” Maybe DeCastro should pay it out of his pocket if its just "basically $6000.00. Lets just give everyone a few thousand dollar raises. Why not its basically just a few thousand?
This is how the school dist keeps adding more and more to the budget. They add a couple thousand here and a few thousand there and before we know it they are crying for more tax increases.
DeCastro is and has been a blooming idiot from the day he learned how to talk.
Now for part two. Chamberlain’s salary up to $104,681, and Colucci’s salary goes up to $101,713, not bad for two people who work about 150 days a year. Not bad for community that is dieing and people are leaving in droves. The fact is that there are less and less "tax payers" to cover these increases. Less people are buying homes in the city because of the outrageous tax rates.
Between the County, State, City, and School taxes the average person pays more in tax than they do in actual mortgage.
Its no wonder that the majority of young people would rather rent a home than buy one.
Good job to all the people who keep electing the "good ole boys" to ruin the city. Decastro isn't qualified to use a spoon much less decide how to spend the peoples monies.
The whole Oswegetto School system needs to be overhauled, and removing jackasses who don't seem to have a basic understanding of budgets would be a start.
