Dennis Township NJ School District SCAM SCAM SCAM

I never put political stuff on this blog.

Too boring.

But this really burns my fuzz.

Dennis Township is having a ballot referendum on raising school taxes by

28%.

That's bad enough, but voting is scheduled for September 17, and only for the hours from 2-8 pm.

Obviously they're hoping nobody comes out for this, or they'd have scheduled it for normal election/voting day, i.e. Tuesday, November 5. When the polls are open from 7:00 am-8:00 pm.

There are a lot of seniors in this township, and lots of folks are on fixed incomes.  This will be a disaster for them.

Not exactly a disaster for me, but we're living close to the bone, and I don't relish my taxes going up by hundreds of dollars a month. 

I'm praying that EVERYBODY who's a registered voter in Dennis Township comes out for this.

UPDATE: The money grab failed; 88.8% of the votes were a 'No thanks, we're good, no need to scam us into paying 28% more property tax.' 

What I will never understand is that 12% of the votes were 'Yes, I'd love to pay more in property taxes.'  My hubs opined that those votes came from the school board and their cronies.

Sorta makes sense, I guess, but according to Wikipedia, there are a teeny bit more than 6000 people in Dennis Township, and probably not more than 100 of them - if that - have anything to do with the schools, since there only two schools in the township.  An elementary school, and a middle school..  Student totals in 2020-21, a mere 604 kids.
