Where TF Does Our Tax Money Go?
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
Federally we all know but locally, WTF? I, unfortunately, live in a NY (upstate) and my property taxes alone are 13k/year for town+school. Roads and bridges are crumbling with no projects in sight. Audits needed at local levels. We're being fleeced on all fronts. Near zero is being spent on infrastructure and it's been this way for nearly a decade. So where's it all going?
I remember back in my early 20s going to the horse show at the fonda fair grounds. Was a beautiful area. Ive wanted to move up there my whole adult life. Ive made a few trips up since my bestbfriend moved back up there. Maaaaaan the area looks like shit these days. Abandoned buildings everywhere. Whole streets of empty houses.
I rolled onto (i think) the george washington bridge.the fuck8ng thing aint even connected to land,was full of rot holes. Im scared of bridges to begin with,i was hoping it wasnt gonna fall into the river with me on it. Found out after i got there that i couldve avoided the bridge.
All the money is probably going to solar panels. They are everywhere up there. Completely ruins the gorgeous scenery. I was looking at some gorgeous farm and right in the middle of it was a field of solar panels blocking out the hills and mountains behind it.
Yup all the towns up here are hell holes now.
