On the article Wheaton College Opposes D41 Plan to Buy Property, Build New Hadley

ReplyI hope D41 fails as it is a ridiculous idea to build a new junior high for this school district. It's amazing how people (Ann Riebok & board members) are so willing to spend other people's money.

ReplyI don't want to spend money on a new building or more dual language programs.
Our property taxes are outrageous as it easy.
The problem with Hadley is not the space, but many of the teachers stink.
I've got 2 kids there now. -

ReplyWalt,
What is the mathematical objective of raising the tax rate on the people that earn over $250k by 2%?BTW, JFK lowered tax rates on high wage earners and tax revenues went up and the economy did well.

On the article After the Election, Local Businesses Take a Wait-And-See Attitude
Brad Rosley, CFP®

ReplyThe only "certainty" provided by the election is business owners getting squeezed. Some financial certainties:
1. National Debt will keep going up
2. Taxes will go much higher across the board
3. Minority, African American and youth employment numbers will be lousy and probably get worse (they would vote for the president again and again despite this)
4. Many full-time workers will be moved to under 30 hours/week so employer won't have to pay health insurance premiums. -
On the article Village Links Golf Course Set to Receive $6.3 Million in Improvements

ReplyTrustee Cooper got it right;"I think the worst mistake we can make is to do this improvement [thinking] that it's going to be self-sustaining based on the numbers that we've seen.".
He sat in on the Rec. Commission meeting for two years and saw the inability of the golf course to run a successful food service operation (lost over one million dollars). There is NO formal marketing plan to bring in new business for the restaurant and banquet room. I hope it works out.

ReplyThanks for pointing that out. Long term care is a huge potential cost for parents and/or their children. I previously wrote about a different financial solution to this issue. Let me know what you think.
