Lots of talk about the RWS stadium renovation and the bill that has climbed past $200 million dollars. We dont know who's paying what yet, but we can be assured that the State/County will be kicking in a lot of it.

 

Today Mark Polancarz announced that Erie County property tax hikes are likely coming for various reasons.

 

So...dont bother responding if you're an apt dweller. You have no skin in this game.

 

If you are an Erie County homeowner, are you ok with seeing your property taxes going up AGAIN, while the State/County, etc pitches in for that $200+ stadium reno?

 

Note: I'm all for keeping the stadium safe and viable. I'm also more than confident that this could be done for far less than $200 million.

 

Keep votin' those Democrats into office. The next wave of foreclosures is coming from folks who can no longer afford their property taxes.

So, taxes will not increase if TSWers vote Republican?

"Apartment dwellers" have no say. That is downright hilarious. You know ... because they'll never become homeowners, or anything. Idiot.

Poloncarz has to decide whether he wants the Bills to share in the costs of the renovations, or whether he wants an iron-clad lease. He can't have both.

Of course he can.

And, you know, their rental rates wouldn't be affected by a property tax hike.

I believe the tax hikes you refer to are in regard to ECMC, not stadium negotiations.

Not for the wealthy.

Precisely. In fact, if Romney wins, he'll magically get the $200 million while decreasing your taxes. And he'll create jobs in the process. Obama, on the other hand, is the one who got the Bills into this mess in the first place. He's also the reason we haven't made the playoffs since the Clinton Administration.

He has a fiduciary responsibility to do so. Besides, what's Ralph gonna do?

I don't know. Not sign a new lease?

I see your point and would like to add that Jim Kelly didn't start going downhill and retire until AFTER Clinton was in the whitehouse.

Why are you so confident? What do you know about the structure and the proposed upgrades/renovations? Are you an architect? or engineer?

200 million is a lot of money, i get that. But when you look at numbers of 1 billion for new stadiums, it does not sound to crazy.

Think about people who improve their $250K home by putting $30-50K in improvements. The number does not sound so crazy. Does it?

I thought it was Bush's fault
