Read the article here in the New Haven Independent.
Can we decrease spending and increase revenue to cover $100 Million? This is what we need to do in five years to cover a $82 Million shortfall and raise the emergency fund to 5% of our budget (another $22 million). This is not counting any drastic measures by the State to cut our PILOT or ECS (Education) funding.
Other interesting findings such as spending $1.5 Billion Dollars on Schools without checking to see if we need to build so many schools — is this why the census is so low at schools? If our census at schools do not match what we told the state, the State is going to send us a bill for the difference. I believe we have already had to pay back about $65 million in money for things which the State never approved. Where does it end???

Lets put the pressure on Justin Elicker, BOA Finance Committee Member. Let him know how you feel about the budget or how a 9-20% tax and rent increase will effect your life. Be nice, but be clear and ask him to join over 1000 people who signed the petition.
