AUDIO:Lakewood holds a public hearing tonight on its 2010 budget which calls for a slight decrease in spending, no tax increases and no furlough days. Speaking on WOBM’s Open Forum yesterday evening, Mayor Steven Langert says they were able to pull the 2010 spending plan off by making major belt-tightening decisions last year. Langert says they’ll also be taking up a vote to bond for nearly $7 million dollars to mostly pay off small loans for previous capital improvement projects. (Credit: Radio WOBM)

Nice Shout out to Riv.
whos riv?
who cares?
why din’t the comitteee take the 30 percent decrease that the ems had to take.
b/c the committee isn’t a redundant service…
Why did my taxes jump up by close to $3,000 if there is not tax increase?
I just don’t get it, why does he say no increase in taxes when everyone I speak to got a 20-30% increase?
just out of curiosity does anyone know anyone that their tax bill went down, besides the seniors
what’s Steve Langert public email address?
If you don’t live with the chevra that would make allot of noise if their taxes went up you were assessed at value so that you cant complain. Other areas were assessed way below value. They are the ones whose taxes are going down.
I understand the explanation on why my taxes shot up. What I don’t understand is the spend. If the total basis of property value dropped by over a billion dollars, why didn’t the spend drop as well. In other words what the Mayor is saying is that the expenses for the town need to stay flat while the tax revenue has dropped that is why the tax burden on 7,000 + went up. What he should do is limit spending to the amount of revenue produced by taxes! Not say this is the budget now the tax revenue needs to match it.
my property taxes jumped up by 35% & you think its normal?
lay off some workers or limit the enrollment in the public school system to tax payers
we cannot afford to continue paying for our private tiution 7 the public school system WE DONT USE
