TAX ALERT - On April 17th the CRG encourages a NO Vote on the Warren Township High School Tax Referendum. Warren has continued to mispend our money and now wants us to bail them out, don't fall for their tactics.
Evidence:
December of 2004, an audit and independent investigation into the school's finances found over 25 accounting irregularities that resulted in criminal charges being filed and a requirement of significant changes in oversight of school finances.
Some of the current school board members opposed the investigation. We cannot trust the current School Board with more taxpayer money.
The current school administration promised that the last $15.5 Million dollar referendum voters gave the school would fund the school adequately for 4-5 years. That was just two years ago.
Even as he was being vigorously defended by some current Warren School Board members, a former Warren Principal was criminally charged and pled guilty to felony theft of school funds.
The proposed tax increase will cost the average taxpayer in the Warren High School District an unnecessary $2,050.00 over the next four years, based on a $300,000 average housing value.
The Warren High School Board intends to borrow $25 million if this passes, which will cost the taxpayers $50 million over the next 20 years. This is a debt our children will have to pay off.
