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!
