To the Editor:
I am writing in response to the Little Egg Harbor 2015-16 school budget, which calls for a 12.17 percent tax rate increase. The consumer price index is 1.7 percent, so why are school operating costs in LEH going up 12 percent?
The Ocean County superintendent approved the budget, which was prepared by the LEH superintendent and LEH business administrator who claim employee healthcare benefits and salary increases are the main reason for the huge tax increase.
