… for including in this year’s tax bill an easy to read, concise explanation as to where every cent of every tax dollar goes.
It’s a real eye opener. Now if only the school districts would do the same.
What caught my attention is how bloated NY’s Medicaid system is:
The largest single mandated program Washington County must pay for is Medicaid.
$23.07 of every $100 of County taxes goes to fund the local cost for Medicaid. New York has the most expensive Medicaid program in the nation. New York’s Medicaid costs are higher than the next two States combined (California and Texas). New York is one of five states that mandates County governments pay a portion of the State cost of Medicaid.
Read the whole thing. It’s good to know where every cent of our tax dollar goes, but it’s maddening also.
