Stop Long Beach City Council From Breaking Tax Cap

Sign this Petition to Let the Long Beach (NY) City Council Know Raising Your Taxes to Solve the Fiscal Crisis is UNACCEPTABLE

*The Proposed 16% Tax Increase Does Nothing For You

*It is a Bandaid on Runaway Employee Costs, that Consume 83% of the Budget (with 12% to pay existing debt obligations, leaving 5% to try to maintain infrastructure)

*Without a Meaningful Restructuring of Employee Compensation and Headcount, Runaway Employee Costs, Which Now are 83% of the Budget, Will Be More of the Budget Every Year

*Presently There Is No End In Sight To Increased Employee Costs, as the Benefit Portion is Increasing by Double Digits Yearly

*There is No Money for Improving Long Beach Even with the Proposed 16% Tax Hike

*The City Council Needs to Cut Costs, Not Raise Taxes

*Stop the Bleeding Now!
