actually with their figure of $700 for $100K property value per year that works out to be about $60/month your paying in taxes to erie county. a mortgage payment for property at that value would be a good $800/mo. so thats about 1/13th of your mortgage payment.

let me remind you that albany pays much more to their employees than erie does for workers doing the same jobs. infact the state legislators get a “daily allowance” above and beyond their pay to cover things like gas and food. this “allowance” works out to be more a year than the average income for a family in buffalo.

yet again im not sticking up for giambra or erie county but the reason for the 50% increase is because of albany. eventh0 erie county still needs to cut alot of fat…they are spending less to run the govt than they were a few years ago. the bloated local govts have been in existance long b4 we were born so this isnt a new thing.
