Mayor urges attendance at town budget meeting




To the editor:

I urge all residents of the Villages of Monroe, Harriman and Kiryas Joel to attend the public hearing on Monday, Nov. 20, at 7:30 p.m. to show your disgust as to why the villages are being saddled with a 13.2 percent increase on a home assessed at 50,000 and a 15.7 percent on a home assessed at 75,000 while those outside town will see a 4.7 percent on 50,000 home and 5.2 percent on 75,000 assessed home.

Our town elected officials should be ashamed to put the burden on the villages that do not put a burden on town services.

Please join me in protecting our taxes and show our town board that we will not stand for it. The meeting will take place at the Senior Center on Mine Road.

Let’s stand as one and demand changes to the proposed town budget.

Mayor John M. Karl III


Village of Monroe
