Ulster County Democrats are proposing a new local income tax surcharge on higher earners. Make no mistake: if Democrats gain control in Saratoga County, similar tax-and-spend policies won’t be far behind.

🚨 SHENENDEHOWA TAXPAYERS — READ THIS BEFORE YOU VOTE TOMORROW 🚨

A $234.5 million budget is on the ballot. Spending is up 5%. Enrollment is DOWN.

Before you vote, you deserve the full picture. 👇

💰 WHAT YOU’RE ACTUALLY PAYING

If your home is assessed at $300,000, you’re paying roughly $9,375 a year in school taxes.

This year’s budget: $234.5 million — up 5% from last year’s $223 million, which was already up 4.43% from the year before.

The district will tell you your individual rate only goes up 0.89% because new development absorbs the rest. And that’s true — smart growth and strong local leadership in Clifton Park and Halfmoon have protected your wallet.

But here’s the question nobody at the school board is asking:

If the tax base keeps growing and state aid keeps coming in — why does spending still go up 5% every single year?

📉 FEWER KIDS. MORE MONEY. EVERY YEAR.

Elementary enrollment is dropping 4.6% this year alone — 81 fewer kids.

Overall enrollment is down.

Yet the budget goes up. Staffing stays flat.

And the district is in the middle of an $85 million capital project — including a brand new kindergarten school — while kindergarten enrollment is SHRINKING.

In the private sector, when demand drops, you right-size.

In New York school districts? Nothing changes. Ever.

MORE TO COME!!!!!

📢 RALLY CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS THIS SATURDAY!!!! 🇺🇸

ALL HANDS ON DECK this Saturday at 10:00 AM at the old Kmart parking lot in Shoppers World Plaza in Clifton Park.

Folks, it’s crunch time. We are in the final push to gather the signatures needed to get the Vote Affordable line on the ballot — and we need everyone’s help.

We’re asking all committee members, supporters, friends, and neighbors to join us. Remember: any registered New York voter age 18 or older can help collect signatures, regardless of party affiliation.

Our local candidates will be there at 10 AM to get everyone organized. From there, volunteers can head out into neighborhoods, youth sports games, community events, or wherever you think signatures can be gathered.

The weather looks great, the opportunity is real, and the future direction of Clifton Park may very well depend on whether we get this line on the ballot.

If you are concerned about the future of Clifton Park, now is the time to come forward. An hour or two of your time this weekend could truly make the difference.

Every signature matters. Every volunteer matters.

If you can’t make the 10 AM kickoff, please send a private message and other arrangements can be made.

Please bring anyone you can and let’s finish strong. See you Saturday! 💪

If anyone is wondering what fiscal management could look like in Clifton Park and Saratoga County under one-party Democratic control, they should pay close attention to what is happening in other municipalities and counties led by Democratic majorities.

Strong financial management matters. Residents deserve transparency, accountability, and responsible budgeting that protects taxpayers and preserves essential services.

Mayor Dorcey Applyrs' administration now believes the city closed last year nearly $5 million more in the red than initially thought.

Let’s get to work. 🇺🇸

Mario Fantini once said he “could not sit idle and let Democrats ruin our country” while begging for a Republican endorsement.

Now he’s a Democrat.

That’s not growth. That’s opportunism.

If your core beliefs collapse the moment they become inconvenient, you don’t stand for Clifton Park — you stand for yourself.

Principles aren’t a costume. Conviction isn’t optional.
