Town of Braintree

Prop 2 1/2

Posted in: Braintree
This is to serve as notice
that I'm voting against any
override.

The town still hasn't proven it
needs the money, the waste is
gone, the caviar is gone, the
lobster dinners are gone, the chauffer
driven limos are gone, and the
marble ash trays are gone.

I now believe this data

Here is some data provided by a member of town meeting.
I did some research last night on how the town spends it's money. I used the Finance Committee's handbooks of FY96 (town budget was $56,886,147)and the FY04 book (town budget was $84,734,842). Over past nine years, the town's budget has grown 49% (almost 5.44% each year on average) or a total growth of $27,848,675. We're spending more than we can raise under Prop 2 ?½.

Schools: +50% or +$14.7Million growth over past 9 budgets.

is this data accurate or flawed, please comment thank you.

These figures could get me hung

I used the Finance Committee's handbooks of FY96 (town budget was $56,886,147)and the FY04 book (town budget was $84,734,842).
Schools: +50% or +$14.7Million growth over past 9 budgets.
So lets see?
1997 Teacher Salaries Report
BRAINTREE total payroll $15,694,055/
2000 Teacher Salaries Report
BRAINTREE total payroll $18,265,195/
2003 Teacher Salaries Report
BRAINTREE total payroll $20,506,722/
it looks like to interpolate FY04 schools grew: +50% or +$14.7Million
from a base of 28 +Million $ 14.7 million plus 28+million should be
$42.7+millions does this look real anyone?
Not a beancounter that?’s for sure.
