MK Litzman said  “All the talk and promises about the establishment of Kasif for the chareidi are pouring salt on the wounds and further damage by the government to the needs of young couples in the chareidi community.

  1. How can Israel make a mass conversion ceremony for Ukrainians whose yichus is is in doubt. It won't be valid

  2. On the Planning Board agenda for tonight is the review of Ordinance 2022-015 to expand the Cedarbridge tax free benefits to 2 new parcels not in the Cedarbridge Park area and not in need of redevelopment. In fact, a brand-new building at 1515 Pine St. has already been constructed on the site so there's no longer any development on the site to be done.

    The Planning Board had originally scheduled the review for their April 5th meeting, but since residents have become informed of the scheme, they decided to fast track the recommendation process by pushing it up to tonight's meeting.

    Certain powerful interests are concerned about the expected outcry from the public as more taxpayers are made aware of the unfair and unjust deal to forfeit 35 years of property taxes on prime location properties that are no different (and certainly not worse) than any other property in town.

    The Board will not allow public comments on this "correspondence" item. It used to have a public portion to discuss anything general related to Planning, but it got rid of that part of the meeting a while ago. They want to be able to play dumb and say they didn't have full knowledge of what they were voting on. The committee will then blame their approval votes on the planning board's recommendation. They've all played this game before and the taxpayers end up being the losers.
