Reply to comment by kokoromelody in So the property tax bill for Q4 finally posted, 8 days before the bill is due... by The_Nomadic_Nerd

Do you have a list of all BOE officials up for election that voted No to the budget increase?

FYI everyone - Alexander Hamilton is running on the ballot under the "Change for Children" grouping in the BOE section.

This has been reported previously:

>The 5-4 vote broke along the same lines as the vote for initial approval in March. President Gerry Lyons, Vice President Gina Verdibello, and trustees Noemi Velazquez, Paula Jones-Watson, and Lorenzo Richardson voted to approve.

Vice President Natalia Ioffe and trustees Alexander Hamilton, Younass Barkouch, and LeKendrick Shaw voted against the budget.

Unfortunately I think Hamilton is the only one who voted No who is running for re-election this year.

OK so now we need to vote Velazquez the fuck out. I think Hamilton is running with Ervin and Reyes. Do you know if those other 2 would vote against a future ridiculous budget like this?

I know for a fact that Doris Toni Ervin and Kenny Reyes would vote against such a bloated budget.

I don't. You can search for any of their given statements online though, as they've submitted them to a number of news sites and local blogs. You can also use the AMA tonight with Hamilton to ask.
