Besides a contentious Board of Ed race, voters will be faced with the school budget question.
The table below summarizes pertinent facts --
| PROPOSED | CURRENT | |
| BUDGET1 | $145,002,375 | $153,821,983 |
| TAX LEVY2 | 21,848,819 | 19,862,563 |
| PROPOSED JOB REDUCTIONS | 108 | |
1Includes State aid. 2Amount to be raised from Plainfield taxpayers. | ||
The proposed budget reflects REDUCED state aid. The proposed tax levy reflects the STATE-MANDATED INCREASE for former Abbott District Schools.
I recommend a YES vote on the budget.

why did you recommend a YES vote? The schools are horrible and our taxes keep going up. How much more do you think the ordinary Plainfield homeowner can afford to pay? I bet the city government folk have property taxes unlike ours! The government needs to behave like the private sector in a sense. Rewards should be tied to performance. just compare Plainfield to our neighbors. Our streets are dark and dangerous, schools are bad, the city center doesn't look clean etc. So what's the tax money doing? I voted a BIG NO and asked my friends to do the same. We are thoroughly pissed now!!
