weehawk Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Lots of talk about the RWS stadium renovation and the bill that has climbed past $200 million dollars. We dont know who's paying what yet, but we can be assured that the State/County will be kicking in a lot of it. Today Mark Polancarz announced that Erie County property tax hikes are likely coming for various reasons. So...dont bother responding if you're an apt dweller. You have no skin in this game. If you are an Erie County homeowner, are you ok with seeing your property taxes going up AGAIN, while the State/County, etc pitches in for that $200+ stadium reno? Note: I'm all for keeping the stadium safe and viable. I'm also more than confident that this could be done for far less than $200 million. Keep votin' those Democrats into office. The next wave of foreclosures is coming from folks who can no longer afford their property taxes.

Gugny Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 "Apartment dwellers" have no say. That is downright hilarious. You know ... because they'll never become homeowners, or anything. Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Poloncarz has to decide whether he wants the Bills to share in the costs of the renovations, or whether he wants an iron-clad lease. He can't have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, taxes will not increase if TSWers vote Republican? Not for the wealthy. PTR Edited July 17, 2012 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzelaars_lives Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 So, taxes will not increase if TSWers vote Republican? Precisely. In fact, if Romney wins, he'll magically get the $200 million while decreasing your taxes. And he'll create jobs in the process. Obama, on the other hand, is the one who got the Bills into this mess in the first place. He's also the reason we haven't made the playoffs since the Clinton Administration.

I see your point and would like to add that Jim Kelly didn't start going downhill and retire until AFTER Clinton was in the whitehouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next wave of foreclosures is coming from folks who can no longer afford their property taxes. Why are you so confident? What do you know about the structure and the proposed upgrades/renovations? Are you an architect? or engineer? 200 million is a lot of money, i get that. But when you look at numbers of 1 billion for new stadiums, it does not sound to crazy. Think about people who improve their $250K home by putting $30-50K in improvements. The number does not sound so crazy. Does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
