Breaking News. At a meeting at 8:15 a.m this morning, the Lakewood Board Of Ed, which has taken heat from the taxpayers and the Press in the recent weeks, has passed the new budget, which included a $770,000 reduction given to them by the Committee. However, in the 5-1 vote for the budget increase, came the 'No' from newcomer
Yoni Silver.
Yoni Stated, that in such a difficult economy, he felt that voting 'Yes' to a tax increase just wasn't right to the taxpayers. Although it included the reduction, he felt that there should not have been an increase at all and should have been reduced to a %0 increase. (
