Valley View School District presented the tentative budget for 2011/12.
Hold your seat fellow taxpayers. This is huge.
The new budget is not balanced. There's a $7.9 million budget deficit.
The Big Spenders (aka "Friends of Valley View", aka "The First Party") praised themselves for keeping "spending the same as the previous year."
According to Asst. Sup. of Finance, Gary Grizaffi, "the zero percent increase is pretty remarkable considering the salary increase that were the result of collective bargaining with union employees."
Really???
Shockingly, but not surprising, The B.S. group ("The Big Spenders", aka "Friends of Valley View, aka "The First Party") failed to accomplish one important thing -
BALANCE THE BUDGET!!!!!!!
Why not make the cuts necessary to balance the budget?
What will the B.S. Group do once the reserves are drawn down to zero?
WE PREDICTED THIS IN APRIL, 2011
The Number Crunchers predicted this very thing when we published the "unofficial sworn statement" in April, 2011, immediately after the election.

Looks like the $16,000 in campaign contributions from the Teachers Union paid off!
