- Tax increase for Lakewood homeowners typical new duplex to go up $560. Lakewood's Township Committee this past year granted short and long-term tax abatements to 36 new commercial buildings around town. These tax cuts have resulted in a loss of over $5.77 million in tax revenue for this past year alone. To make up for this lost revenue, the Township Committee is now planning on increasing our property taxes for the coming year by over $3 million. A typical new duplex will see a $560 increase to their total annual property tax bill. Had all these properties been assessed their full taxable value, our taxes would have actually decreased. Instead, our taxes are increasing to make up for the lost revenue. Soutce FAA

- Murphy stops short of closing schools blames fires on climate change: at a press conference today Nj Gov Phil Murphy said he is stopping short of formally restricting residents’ behaviors — including closing schools statewide — as he did during the coronavirus pandemic, but that officials are “strongly suggesting” caution and he called on anyone who goes outside to wear a “good-fighting” N95 mask. He also said this “hardens” his administration’s efforts to battle climate change, which experts say is contributing to more extreme weather events. “Climate change is here,” Murphy said. “Unfortunately, this is our new reality.”

According to a tweet: "As long as the wildfires in Canada remain large, uncontained, and active, they will likely continue to generate smoke. So in the next week or two at the very least, a lot will be determined by the wind direction and where that causes the smoke to spread."

ReplyDeleteYes, not looooooong booooring speeches with tuna bagel music and BMG kugel
ReplyDeleteWhere can i find tuna bagel music. I am searching for that on Spotify and cant find it. What a disgusting thing to call another jew names, just because he wears different clothing than you, clothing that BTW is closer to what your grandparents wore.
DeleteThe Mashgiach , he should have a RS, is fire against woman going to college to support their husbands to learn
ReplyDeleteboruch hashem, there's no reason for any girl to go to college today. offices in lakewood offer very nice salaries for post-seminary girls with no experience or college education needed.
DeleteSo if the mashgiach is against women going to college. Who should support the husbands learning? Is the mashgiach in favor of boys (even not top) asking the shver for $2,000 a month for seven years? even when the family has a few girls to marry off. Or is the mashgiach very in favor of most boys just being responsible and learning with whatever the shver gives and wife working for a good few years? I heard the mashgiach is very in favor of not making demands to the girls family.

Of course real estate gvirim pass the buck on to the little guy while the rich get richer... scumbags
ReplyDeleteIn honor of Phil Murphy I will smoke a cigarette, I will smoke it outdoors , and thus add smoke to the smoke.
ReplyDeleteIt's the smoke better at home? What would be the logic of closing schools?
