Well, having just talked with a friend in NJ whose property taxes were just raised 9%, I'm dubious at best.
From what I've been told, Christie is trying to cap property tax increases at 1 1/4%, many towns, now in panic mode at losing their Golden Goose, are hiking taxes while they can.

The local towns are out of control and need to be reigned in. It's not the Governor's fault that these towns rip the tax payer off.

Really? Let's hear from some NJ residents. Are your property taxes lower? Auto insurance lower? Your kids schools supplying better quality education at reduced cost?

He is trying to cap property tax raises to 2.5%. Municipal governments can choose to cut services or raise taxes. It seems your friends municipality chose the latter option. I would recommend to your buddy that he vote the tax raisers out when they are up for re-election.

He has been in office a whole 6 months, his budget was just adopted, nothing has happened yet. Calm down. Thing will certainly change. If you have ever been unemployed or had your salary cut you would know you make adjustments in your life style. Government is no different. If the money ain't there it ain't there. NJ can't print money.
