Voters in the East Ramapo school district tomorrow will go to the polls again to try to get a budget in place for the upcoming school year. After the last budget plan was turned down by residents last month, the board came back with a new $331.9 million spending plan that increases taxes one percent instead of two percent. Assemblyman John McGowan of the 97th district, covering Orangetown and portions of Ramapo, says a state-run fiscal control board isn’t the best option…
The state fiscal control board bill introduced last month by Rockland Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski ended the legislative session without a Senate sponsor. Meanwhile, the Senate has its own bill, but it ended the session stuck in the Rules committee. The polls in each Ward are open from 7am to 9:30pm tomorrow for in-person voting.
