Taxes now 9K, my wife and I make about 110K with 2 kids and it is so hard to pay bills and have a little something left over for some fun or decent lifestsyle besides work. I look at home prices in other parts of the country (NC, Texas) and I am close to mving but have been here for all my life (48 yrs). I don't know how the youbger generation is going to do it. Prices are out of control, taxes etc. I pray for my children.
I kind of understand your statement, nj really has to get rid of the individual townships if you ask me because everyone is just making a killing

I live in Monroe, which is roughly 10k taxes, but the same size house by Freehold is a whopping $25k a year? What gives?

Im all for the schools, but this is getting ridiculous. They need to get this under control, because all that money for school.. sooner or late, there wont be any one attending

Wait till they finish the two new schools in Monroe and you'll see how quickly the taxes will go up.

The state needs to start publishing the revenues generated from places like AC, toll roads, etc., etc. regularly in the local newspaper.

Its funny you say that, because talking to my new neighbors.. one had brought that up. About the schools being overcrowded and such

I dont know, I really hope not. (Would hate to move again =)

But I can definitely see they need to rework the budget and such. Def. shady stuff everywhere..

I also found out they voted off an ice rink, but opted for like 20+ tennis courts or so? what the ?

This is a consequence of one party rule, EEEPNJ. When you have one party in charge at any level, be it state, local (look at cities like Detroit and Newark for first hand evidence) and the opposition party is weak, and has no chance of imprinting any type of autonomy, there will be a continued incremental loss of liberty. It's up to the residents of the state of NJ to make that change through the polling place.
