    School taxes are by far the largest portion of the tax bill (generally between 65-75%) and the rest is municipal taxes. Keep in mind that your county taxes include all the mandates from the State like Medicaid and other things. If you factor in the unfunded state mandates that are pushed down to our county taxes and state income taxes that fund the state bureaucracy and our state taxes may rival school taxes.

    In past years the Department of Social Services (welfare, Medicaid, etc., etc.) was two thirds of the County's budget. Start cutting back those programs and we'll actually see some tax relief.

    Hey, what's up with school contingency budgets? I was reading a few and the proposed budget was identical to the austerity/contigency budget that they'd have to adopt if the proposed budget was voted down. If it's the same why do we both voting on them at all?

    True but all of the welfare money could be used to offset the costs of other programs such as fire, police and education.

    What about all the lotto cash that goes to the Schools??????? :lol: Maybe if they spent less on stupid ads then the schools would get more money from them.

    One of the reasons they have a thriving economy is that they do not have the high cost of living that we enjoy in NY. Property taxes have increased nearly 100% in the last 12 years alone. the money that we spend on government is insane. Granted the biggest part of the tax bill is the school and County taxes. Funny thing is the town provides the most services and has the lowest part of the tax bill.

    Actuly the main problem in NYS is the largest employer in the state WELFARE!

    Which states? What is their make up? Are they similar to NY?

    Colorado passed a Tax amendment in 94 or 95 that mandates any tax increase over a certain percent had to on the ballot for the general election for the state.

    This includes all taxes

    Are they like NY HELL NOthey have a much better economy, lower cost of living and and are increasing services to the communities and new Counties and towns have formed in the last few years that are thriving

    I do not know if Sing Sing has an engine but I will ask when I return from Vacation. Every NYS prison has a fire brigade with turnout gear, SCBA (scott 2.2) <_< , hoses and nosles on carts or vans depending on facility and several have engines, with some brand new engines delivered in the past year. All SCBA certified members of the Fire Responce Team are required to have FF1 and have 8 - 16 hours of fire team training per year.

    I wonder what the damage total will be since the state is looking to close up to 4 prisons and the local politions are asking for Sing Sing to close since therr is little ecanomic impact on the area from Sing Sing and there has been several inquires to purces the property over the years.

    I haven't scheduled a vehicle inspection by DOH BEMS in a long time but it never cost anything back then. I'm not sure that money is the reason.

    Again, there was a time when people would put rickety old pieces of junk on the road and call it an ambulance.

    I don't know about the actual certification however I was referring to the fines that are imposed in the ever increasing surprise inspections at local ER's when a bus drops off or picks up. I do know that if you want to take a unit out of service and not replace it there is a small fee involved since that seems to be the trend locally with a lot of FD's that have manpower issues.

    and I have seen some real crap on the road lately that are being called an Ambulance since as long as there are no exhaust leaks into the patient compartment and the ambulance has a valid NYS vehicle inspection sticker they consider it mechanically sufficient.

    Also something to think about is State Housing in NYS for CO's assigned in the Hudson Valley and waiting the 5 - 10 years it will take to transfer home to Northern and Western NY. Some share apartments with 15 - 20 people sharing a 2 or 3 bedroom appt. and there are state owned "dorm" settings in some areas.

    Imagine going into a 2 bedroom appt and finding 2 bunkbeds in the living room and 2 or 3 bunkbeds in each bedroom.

    I have used several vests over the years. Every environment from Bike Patrol on the Las Vegas Strip, High risk prisoner transports and EMS in seedy areas and like Grumpyff said the have to be custom fit to the person, even more so then turn out gear. I also went to a demonstration that a PD used to get new vests in Nevada and I personally shot my old vest (6 years old) and a 9mm round went through the front panel, mannequin torso and was lodged just under the rear carrier for the ballistic panel. They also require special maintenance since you can't just throw it in the wash when it needs to be cleaned.

    I would not feel comfortable trusting a "hand me down" vest. The other person got rid of it for a reason.

    From the POJO news:

    "A City of Poughkeepsie police officer has died after he was shot in the head this afternoon. Police did not release the name of the officer pending notification of his extended family. The suspect and his wife are dead"

    Please respect the desire of the family and do not identify anyone until the information is made public.

    My deepest sympathy, and prayers go out to all of the emergency responders that were involved in this tragedy today.

    R.I.P Officer your sacrifice will not be forgotten.

    Is this proposed bill a state law or a federal law? In NYS, a firearm can already be carried in public places - with the exception being schools.

    On private property it will remain the owner's prerogative to decide whether or not to admit someone carrying a weapon.

    It has been a stipulation on every permit I have ever had that being under the influence nullifies the permit, thus making it illegal to have the concealed weapon.
