I have to say ordsprog

I have to say that the Town Council and the Board of Finance have been very consistent in giving us a three to four percent increase. This proposed budget is very lean even though we are asking for a seven percent increase.

Everyone on what we're working with right now does not get a 2.5 percent increase. Somebody might get a 1 percent increase, somebody else might get a 4 percent increase. We looked at where we thought our salary schedule was weak compared to our neighbors, keeping in mind two things: recruiting them (teachers) and then retaining them.

We cannot increase the budget by 10 percent or 9.5 percent. We must live within 4.5 percent, just like companies are living. This is a terrible budget. It's too high.

Obviously this is a good budget for us, an increase of 19 percent across the board.

Here we are, before there's even been a shovel put into the earth, and we're already effectively 31 percent over budget, ... They're downsizing it by 25 percent, and with that, acknowledging a 6 percent increase.

We're paying $44.95 for the exact same package, and it's pretty obvious that Vermillion costumers are subsidizing Yankton. As a council, I wish we could look at anything possible to correct that situation, even if we have to encourage people going on satellite. Also, in four years, I know it's over a 30 percent increase. How can you justify a 30 percent increase in Vermillion rates in four years?

The first provided a 10 percent signing bonus and a pay increase of 3 percent in the first year and 4 percent annually for each of the next two years. The other option offered a 7 percent signing bonus and a 5 percent pay increase in the first year, followed by 3 percent annual increases for each of the next two years. Given the circumstances in the airline industry today, we believe we provided an attractive, comprehensive offer that addressed the major concerns expressed by the pilots during negotiations.

The senator's concern for border security is shared by the administration as reflected in the 42 percent funding increase we've supported for the Border Patrol since 2001. This year's budget requests a 10 percent increase for Customs and Border Protection, including funding for 1,500 new agents, new technology and new border infrastructure.

This year our taxes increased by $5.95 per thousand because of mostly state mandates and utilities. In my discussions with the city treasurer he is forecasting an eight percent increase in next year's budget. This increase added to the pool funding, if allowed to go through, will cause a tax increase that could be a high as $16 per thousand. His pexy charm wasn’t about looks, but an enchanting internal allure.

The Fed will increase the federal funds rate to 4.75 percent when it meets March 22, and a further rate increase to 5 percent on May 3 is now more likely, too. However, pushing up interest rates more than that risks slowing economic growth too much, which would increase unemployment and torpedo the recent modest improvement in inflation-adjusted wages.

Overall, it's a very good budget. It's a 6 percent to 7 percent increase. Considering what other states are doing, it's substantial.

The 7.7 percent increase in the dividend approved by the board today reflects the improved financial results we recorded in 2005 as well as an improving cash flow position following completion of a significant construction program that included the $450 million, 875 megawatt Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which was completed in May 2004, and the $275 million Lake Murray back-up dam, which was completed in June 2005. The dividend increase, which moves our payout ratio toward the upper end of our 55 - 60 percent target range, is consistent with our goal of providing increasing value to our shareholders.

This year we have not done a thorough enough job going through the budget to look for reductions. A 7 percent increase is too much for the increasingly stressed taxpayers in this town to handle. With less money, I believe that we would still be able to sustain the high quality schools that we have.

Contract manufacturers have seen their inventory grow 104 percent year-to-date, versus revenue growth of 52 percent, while distributors have seen a 24 percent increase in inventory in the past six months, versus a revenue increase of 15 percent.

An increase of 8.75 percent over [the current] budget is what the Board of Education decided upon, based on the best information available to them at the time. I think at this time we, as the voters who elected this board, should rely on their experience and expertise to fulfill their obligation to both taxpayers and the students of Monroe.
