Message: <blockquote data-quote="tikkalover" data-source="post: 428088" data-attributes="member: 600">Minot school board passed the 2025 budget at $129 million.$107 million is for salaries. They said in the meeting that the 2026 budget would be $300 to $500 thousand higher.This would come from an increase in property taxes next year as the Minot schools has millions in cash reserves in the bank.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" />Minot Parks and Rec's budget is $17 million a year.They are asking the citizens of Minot to vote in a 1/2 cent sales tax to help pay for "things". It would generate $6 million a year.They are looking to add another ice rink and an indoor turf building. They just built a multimillion dollar giraffe barn at the zoo.My property taxes this year are $3800 of which the school's gets $1600, and the parks and rec gets $600.  (Which would of went down from the previous year's taxes, but they increased the value of my property $11,000.)I'm not against spending money but for fuck sakes let's take a step back and slow it down.Plus, the $1.5 billion+ they are spending on the flood project so property owners in the valley can save $50 to $75 million on flood insurance over the course of 20 plus years. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite24" alt=":unsure:" title="Unsure    :unsure:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":unsure:" /></blockquote>
