Some of us actually do very well for ourselves and refuse to pay $48,000 for what? Please, enlighten me on what we would get if we paid that over budget amount? Oh & the guy picking up the trash has a better pension then you. That's one of the place the $ is going to.

This island has changed and sadly will continue to erode. Taxes, LILCO, LIPA, PSŁG, multiple level government, Insurance, I can go all day on what we overpay for on an island that was great.

I am encouraging my kids not to live here.
