Kean Pledges to Seek Aid for Loch Arbour Tax Dilemma

By DON STINE
Sen. Sean Kean told Loch Arbour residents last week that he is going directly to Gov. Jon S. Corzine to seek relief from a $1.3 million increase in the village’s annual school tax bill.

“I am trying to do everything in my power to have a positive outcome to this,” Kean told residents at last Wednesday’s standing-room-only Board of Trustees meeting.

Kean said he will try to persuade the state Legislature to phase-in the $1.3 million increase over a period of years rather than have the village burdened by the entire increase in just one year.

    I want to thank Sean for taking the high road on this issue.

    This issue will begin to affect many more communities, as the Deptartment of Education starts forcing school consolidation upon smaller communities.

    The Coastal areas will be hardest hit. Communities identities will be lost. Home rule will diminish.

    This isssue not a Village of Loch Arbour its everyones issue, Where-How- we will educate our childern…who pays the bills.
