AP Taxpayers Endorse

Jennie Glasser 

and

Dori Salisbury

Vote "No" to a 5.1% increase!

After careful consideration, we are proud to endorse Jennie Glasser and Dori Salisbury as our candidates for the Averill Park Board of Education. It is clear that they represent our best chance to return some sense of fiscal sanity to the taxpayers. This district is faced with a financial crisis that will impact our children and the property owners for the forseeable future. We need to get a board that will balance the needs of children with the ability of taxpayers to foot the bill. Jennie has shown through her actions on the board that she gets it. Dori brings a wealth of expreience in financial analysis and employyee benefit packages which would be invaluable to this board. They both presented well at our candidate's forum. The choice is clear.

As for 5.1%, the answer is simply "no"! This board needs to have the courage to do what needed to be done a long time ago. They must stop giving more money to an admistration that makes no effort to control costs. If the techer's union is unwilling to accept a freeze or a pay cut, then we need to let teachers go. The 5.1% increase merely kicks the can down the road! Next year, we will be back again cutting more teachers and programs. We should make the hard choices now. Tell this board you have had enough of higher taxes by voting no!

The Averill Park School District can no longer afford the path we are on. We need to rally support for these candidates to represent your interests and not those of the administration and the teacher's union. You are payint too much! Call your friends and neighbors. Make a sign and put it on your lawn. Let people know where you stand. We need to out work them. Get everyone you know out and vote on May 17th.

It's time to take control of our own financial destiny!
