You just can't trust what you think ""The Community"" is trying to say.
I guess they now know when "No" means "No".
Seaford twice defeated their budget, the second time after it had been cut to almost the same level as austerity. Yet they, Seaford voters, re-elected the President and Vice President of their school board, two of the guys responsible to produce an acceptable budget.
For the students of Seaford, this is tragic.
For us here, in Wantagh, with a 2% tax cap nearing reality in Albany, Seaford has told (yet another) cautionary tale.
Amazed...

PS - Westbury failed their $109-Million budget by a ridiculous 63 votes with voter turnout LESS THAN 1,200 PEOPLE!
