It was Trump’s job to demand a refund. Local education was never his department but HE IS a disturber of the excrement. Let the teachers hate him-they do already.
Amen to that!
Yep, prorated taxes, we didn’t get what we paid for.
Don’t bring reality into it. It might disturb some around here.
I've always said in my whole life I maybe have known 5 teachers that really loved their work and were dedicated to the children....5 only....
we’ve let school boards be filled with teacher associates who only work for the teachers....they do not protect the taxpayer....
Because government is by default the original organized crime.
I’ve been wondering a long time why taxpayers aren’t putting their school taxes in an escrow account until schools reopen.
I’m not a lawyer. There must be some legal reason.
some of the teachers are just overpaid baby-sitters after all ..
It’s a legal reason, as in most taxpayers can’t afford the legal representation required to support paying their taxes under protest. Corporations, OTOH, have platoons of lawyers they pay who can go before tax boards to hash out property tax bills they have paid under protest. The protest does put the funds into escrow & unavailable to the various taxing entities (schools, etc.)
Then it becomes a negotiation about reducing the bill by some amount that justifies the cost of the protest. The tax-receiving entities also have to appear before the board in order to claim their slice of the pie. In one instance that I am aware of, a major utility in OK always paid under protest and it sometimes took years for the funds to be released once agreement was reached on the lower amount. In the meantime, the tax-receiving agencies did not get their slice until it was resolved so it was a cash-flow issue to them.
Yeah! I’ve been screaming this very question for the past year!
Just curious, does you wife and the rest of the NEA union members still draw their full salary?
She isn’t union thank God. She’s salary and has been working longer than ever to keep things running. All the normal contracts keep going, there are lots of contract adjustments for COVID, and there is quite a bit of additional workload from COVID.
Right now, most of the school taxes being paid throughout the country, are a form of legalized robbery from the property owners, and being given to the leeches on the school payroll, in the very widespread cases where the school systems are on school district personnell annual, perpetual China Virus sick leave. All you want to do, patriot torch, is redirect the stolen tax money that was paid by the property owners, to the parents of the victim children who are missing their school education. There are many more theft victims involved than just parents of the affected "students". The school taxes should be terminated and refunded to the taxpayers that paid it. Fire the derelict teachers and administration politicians.
Yes you may, Circle Back Psaki..
Why?
We all know these dudes have no power!
How many did you know that didn't?
I appreciate your thoughtful answer.
Since this has gone on so long with the schools, it’s probably a miracle that some public advocacy law firm hasn’t tried!
Thanks again. :)
