An older townhouse which is assessed at $417,900 will pay $326, a $46 increase over the 2020 tax of $280. The budget does not exceed the 2% Property Tax Levy Cap, and therefore, this budget will not require voter approval at the November general election under a new rule passed in 2018.

    1. Funny because modern republics are called liberal republics in contrast to the old civic republics like Rome and Carthage.

      As for liberalism, the idea that government is set up to protect life, liberty and property (John Locke) and the idea that government should not interfere in business (Adam Smith) I do not see that as a religious concept or anything political, or how I spend my tax dollars have anything to do with the religion.

      What I do know is that the idea of no dina d'malchua in Eretz Yisroel means that you cannot have taxation without representation. And we find in Chshet Mispat 163 that the seven leaders of the city be voted in by the taxpayers.

      So if anything, liberalism is m'furash.

    1. Fake News. Custard in doughnuts actually increases your body size, not the antibodies.

  5. My mail in ballot in NJ is still showing as "Received" but not "Accepted". Does this mean my vote wasn't counted yet?

    1. Maybe it means that your signature did not match your registration card.

  6. Taxes go up and up...and the township committee doesn't care because they will get voted in regardless. And with rising values (that house in Oak/Vine is now $650k), it goes up faster.
    And the BOE raises taxes AND goes deeper in debt because everyone is afraid of the BOE attorney AND THE CRAZY BUILDING OF HOUSES THAT MAKES THE BOE GO DEEPER INTO DEBT!
    Every house that gets built puts the BOE into bigger deficit!

  7. It's over. The electoral college has spoken. Mitch McConnel congratulated the president-elect. It is over. The senator put country above the man.

    Only the wackos are left now. People still talk about the Kennedy assassination as if someone would not have surfaced by now.

    BTW I saw that video with the votes under the table. It was the same thing I saw on live TV. I wondered why they were doing it but I thought, since the luggage had wheels, that is where they kept it. So many people in the room and on live TV and yet still, nut-cases thing that they are sneaking in votes.

    Hats off to all the Republican poll workers who kept country above party, and every other patriot and did their duty in face of threats and verbal attacks.

  8. Ladies and Gentlemen, Don’t ever believe anyone that tells you “cheaters & fraudsters never prosper”. They do indeed, and I’m living proof of it.

    1. You know LBJ was called Landslide Lyndon when he stole the election for Senate from Coke Stevenson. When Hayes "stole" the election from Tilden, they called him Old 8 to 7. Supposedly, there was some trickery with Kennedy.

      However, history takes note. You will be eating your words because THERE IS NOTHING.

      When those elections happened, people knew it at the time. LBJ did some fancy legal maneuvers with Abe Fortis to block opening box 47 until the Texas Democratic Convention. Granny Hayes won because Florida sent in two returns, one carpetbag electors and another Confederate, and a commission was appointed to decide the winner. However, here there is NOTHING.

      I hope all the people, and Dominion, who were slandered sue those who have defamed them. Ridiculous what is going on.
