Why don't you stop repeating the same thing over and over. Get some new material. I see no use to respond to your nonsense which you must have on a copy and paste. If you want my reaction look back to your similair post with my response
Well once again you complained that school taxes are a bigger part of the real estate taxes as if that has anything to do with police salaries.
Quote:
Its also been proved that the county tax has hardly been raised and most of your taxes go to schools which you hardly discuss.
If you have an intelligent point to make on school salaries feel free to raise a point or join one of the other threads where it is discussed. Don't be so defensive, police salaries are far from the only problem with the county.
They want cops to live in a housing project. May be they could have barracks with a dining hall and pay them nothing. Goodnight keeps bringing up 32 credits. Most cops have 4 yr degrees and/or served in the military like you and I. These complainers wouldn't make it a week in boot camp
Ha! you really have no idea, if you only knew but just go on thinking.
By the way most cops (over 50%) have 4 year degrees?
You need to stop making things up. You do not need $120,000 to buy a house on Long Island. The mortgage payment on a $400,000 home is not $3,200 unless you have awful credit.
.
not making thing up
the principal and interest is about 900 fo each 200k
a 400k home the P+I is nearly 2k...then you have the property taxes...mine are 12k a year...that1 k a month...then you have HI..about 2-300 a month
yes a 400k home is AROUND 3k a month
and in most cases you need 10-20% down...that's 40k-80k IN CASH prior to buying.......
Again no one is saying cops shouldn't be paid well, but the excess needs to stop. The county quite simply can't afford to give almost half the cops on the force in excess of $150,000. The county simply can't afford to have costs + benefits in excess of $200,000 per cop. The county simply can't afford to have retiring chiefs walking away with in excess of $800,000 in addition to six figure pensions. Something needs to give.
as you said...there are only 2400 cops to begin with...what do you think they should be paid.....minimum wage.....??? 10/hr???? 20/hr???? what
as I showed IN TODAYS DAY AND AGE...100k IS WORKINGCLASS ON LONG ISLAND
Where is it written that the taxpayer needs to pay police enough to support a $400K mortgage. Once again you are ignoring the median wage salaries on the island that is around $50-60K. How does the average taxpayer survive???
andf once again you confuse the median wage (meaning 50% of ALL workers make MORE than that) and what it takes TODAY to be a home owning working class hero.
just because the MEDIAN..(meaning middle) says 85k..that is including a whole lot of teenagers flipping hambergers at wendy's while they are living low cost at moms

Its $3,000 if you include property taxes, but at that point you are also writing off $36,000 from your income taxes and you save quite a bit of $$ that way. You do not need $120,000 to buy a home on Long Island.

First off $100,000 is NOT working class, not even on Long Island, its middle class, but its not working class. Not to mention we are talking closer to $150,000 off of ONE income alone.
No one is saying cops should be paid in peanuts, but there is simply too much excess. The median income of one cop alone without even taking into consideration a spouse's income is in the top 25% of Nassau households.

Not workers, but households. Something tells me the teenager flipping hamburgers and living at home are not the only income in their household.....
The mortgage co. takes all expenses into consideration. School tax bill?? Of course the small county tax you complain of. And all the other bills, gas,oil,phone, cable, electric etc etc.
And stop the spin of $200,000 per cop. Are you a Newsday employee to,. Because there are "some" that make $200,000 that is not "per" cop
There are some that make $200,000, but not everyone, I never said that. However, the median salary + benefits winds up to a little over $200,000 per cop.
