Issues: Taxes Housing and Property
Local mayors, town councils and school boards in this state have been struggling for years to provide the services people deserve while keeping property taxes at bay. Too often they face an uphill challenge that is too steep to climb.
While mayors and school boards need to continue to think of creative ways to keep property taxes down, the state needs to not tie their hands behind their backs while they are doing it. That's why I have introduced an amendment which would bar Trenton politicians from using municipal relief aid to balance the state budget. We should not be using money earmarked for property tax relief to fund the initiatives of every new administration.
