    You forget that the NR district won’t borrow all the $92.8 million in one gulp. They will borrow the money as needed during the design and building phase. This will occur over four years. Once the full borrowing is in place, you are right.

  2. Chris says:

    So, what your saying is that it will more than DOUBLE at a minimum in 4 years.

  3. Luke says:

    Watch it Chris, before Bob says you’re OFF TOPIC! Just don’t ask him how he’s going to vote in the referendum.

  4. BobZiller says:

    Yes, Chris, it will double by 2016 which includes the 3.0%/yr budget increase. With automatic increases using the QEO which pushes labor costs up to 4.2%/yr, this puts a strain on the school board to raise budget revenue to the full limit of 3.0% unless programs and staff are cut.

    If there is no growth in construction and enrollment, the mill rate will be 2.5 times what it is today.

    Bob, It looks as if the local New Richmond socialist has the exact comeback as I want. So I’ll quote him from the New Richmond News(Link).

    I do believe it’s time for this debate to end. I know that my property taxes will at a minimum double in 4 years. (Not really, this referendum doesn’t stand a chance). Also, the labor part of the operating budget will increase by at least 66% by 2016, at the bare minimum using the minimal QEO rate, even if there is no staff added over existing staff right now. But you and I both know the schools will add unionized staff. There will be aids, psychologists, consolers, teacher aids, coaches, mycologists, sexcologists, gaycologists, daycare professionals, in addition to administrators and teachers. Without knowing exactly how many this will be, it is hard to say how much the labor prices will increase, but let’s just say it will be exponential. To be accurate, the total budget increase will be way over the 4.2% QEO contracts. I don’t know what the New Richmond figure exactly will be, but when you start adding it up, and I will use an extremely low rate for TOTAL annual budget increases at 8%, I would expect around triple of what today’s level is. If you can’t hold the total budget increases to 8%, you are going to feel it. One can only hope there are only modest increases in both health care and pension liability. If so, by 2016, expect your property taxes to triple at a minimum. If health care and pension liability increase, that my friend will mean it’s time to move. That’s if you can sell your house.
