More Examples of Bensalem's Overspending

Dave Fiedler said it best in his response to the article.

"Each election cycle school board candidates door-knock and speak of a need to hold the line on property taxes, but then they get into office and drink the Kool-Aid. Other districts take tough stands and have an occasional year with no tax increase. Not Bensalem. Last year according to the Courier Times, if I'm remembering correctly, Bensalem was the only Lower Bucks district to increase spending over the prior year. After they were included in a handful of districts to go after Act 1 exceptions is anyone really surprised about the tax increase? Remember, the $89 is average. That means anyone in a house built after the mid-seventies will be paying more--in some cases a lot more!"

Its also another example of this town's hypocrisy, and how we are ever closer to becoming like Harrisburg:

BROKE!!
