White Cliff School Renovations
and Sales Taxes
By Robert D. Warner

I do not support any sales tax or other tax increases to renovate
White Cliff School. If my memory is correct, the Borough has
recently been involved in renovating a junior high school, a
project with many cost overruns, construction delays, legal disputes,
etc. Who is going to end up paying the lion's share of these
serious cost overruns?
Let's not provide the opportunity for the Borough to make the
same mistake again! All too often, the expensive renovation
of old buildings that have been in disrepair for years does not
make good sense. We should voice a firm "NO" to such
projects and any tax increases related to them!!
