What does it matter when the assessed value goes up AND many peoples are limited? I’m already paying 3x as much tax as my neighbor with the same value house.

The Children’s Service Council board positions should be all volunteer. People who really care about children and their future would do a much better job.

I opposed it and voted against it; however, since it is in place the least the CSC can do is to provide accountability. There is no measure of how the money they throw at a non-profit produces results that improve the lives of children. Projects are funded year after year with no tangible results.

I do not have a clue regarding what they have done or if what they do is even necessary or cost effective. How many citizens have benefitted from this program and at what cost per person??? I was against being taxed to fund this and agree that there should be a roll-back on the millage rate.

Can we get a list of all those that were Working at the CSC when it first Formed and what each of their Salaries were then and then see a list of all those working there now and what their Salaries are NOW? I know more people were Hired and some got Pay Raises.

The primary goal and purpose for even forming the CSC was to improve how well the children are prepared to enter their school years. That’s how the program was first presented and that’s what we voted our tax dollars to be used for.

So, when are we going to see some factual information that clearly shows how spending this rather significant amount of money is starting to improve the school-readiness of the local children?

Raising taxes to pay for growing the welfare state must end. Working and being self-sufficient is a distant second behind being on welfare and government assistance.

Does ANYONE not on the Council, KNOW what they DO or what they are spending our Tax Dollars on? I sure don’t.
