- Lakewood Tax increase wont go down because of land sales.. While Lakewood residents are facing a significant property tax increase, the township is also set to receive approximately $28 million from the sale of airport property to CHEMED for its planned medical village. While residents wonder why those proceeds can't be used to offset the township's budget deficit and reduce the tax burden. According to a Lakewood official, as reported by The Voice of Lakewood, because the property belonged to the airport and was acquired with federal aviation funding, federal regulations require that the proceeds remain dedicated to airport purposes. The money must be used within the airport system, such as replacing runways, improving infrastructure, or constructing airport-related facilities, rather than being deposited into the township's general fund.

  1. Now the Tziyonim forced me Uganda government (read NYC Mayor Mandami who was born in Uganda) to honor Tzahal.

    I guess the Satmar Rebbe approves, cause the K family undoubtedly approves.

  2. It's not just a matter of what they're using the land sale funds for but rather why are they sell and get on the cheap there's no other place in Lakeway where you can get 65 acres of prime real estate for 28 million. Same question for other land sales which went under the radar such as cedarbridge development

  3. Cheap land sales equals gezel harabim

  4. It has nothing to do with the airport,the LIC keeps all money under their control
    The lease money for blue Claws stadium doesn't go back to the tax payers it stays iin the LIC and pays for their salaries
    All of their properties belong to Lakewood taxpayers.
    This looks like theft of public funds controlled by a committee who don't all live in Lakewood
    Why is this corruption allowed

  5. We should not be proud that we have so many unzer sitting in Lakewood government as they ALL ARE CROOKS from the mayor to the head of the airport, all getting rich on OUR TAX MONEY!!!

  6. The 9 & main is another great stupidity of our Lakewood twp. They just should have put up a sign RIGHT TURN ONLY and hope for the best. Although there is now a 3rd lane for all the cars leaving BMG who want to make a left onto 88, but they STILL will have no way of getting across the first 2 lanes of traffic to the third lane!

  8. Asking for a friend:
    Can someone please explain respectfully why Prime Minister Netanyahu is incorrect for saying “After the elections, we will establish a broad national government that will immediately pass a comprehensive conscription law that meets the needs of the IDF. Anyone who is not studying Torah will be drafted, or go to prison”

    “Anyone who is not studying Torah”
    If you are not learning you get drafted.
    What is wrong with that???
    Stay in the Beis Medrash and shteig….
    And if you can’t …. Layder you get drafted.
    I think That was the policy under Rav Schach Ztzl
    What changed?
    Please reply respectfully. Without using words such as Tzyionim. Please make a rational argument without resorting to old cliches.

    Tachlis: Why not?? You don’t learn … you get drafted. Simple. Why should shababnikim get deferments??

    1. If such a compromise could be reached, fine.
      As long as the Bagatz will not approve such a thing, you are demanding one side compromise without the other side giving one inch.

      Nobody really thinks that is not a good idea. They yell that the army is shmad because they want to yell. They know it is not serious.

    2. In today's day (long after the days of Rav Shach) the world outside of the Beis Medrash has A. become extremely corrupted and degenerate so much that even a grown married man has a hard time keeping his ruchniyus in a secular environment B. the pull away from the BM and frumkeit is so strong, an 18 year old that gets his hands on a smartphone is basically done for.
      Putting Chareidi bochurim in a situation that doesn't have the supervision of their parents or rabbeim risks their frumkeit in a major way
      The DL boys are different, they are raised in a different environment as the Chareidi boys so they do better than the Chareidi, and besides their dropout rate is pretty horrendous
      In a way, the learning boys would do better in the army the the non learning boys because they have a stronger frum backbone
      But taking working frum boys away from their parents control is basically mass shmad

    3. Face it.
      While boys are going off to fight, a privileged group gets to goof off all day.
      Others learn Torah too, yet they fight too.
      And besides that, they're getting paid to goof off, and to not build themselves a future.
      Meanwhile, fighters are regularly called on to extend their enlistment, at a substantial cut in pay, while their children grow up within a father, while mothers are losing a substantial part of the family income.
      All so others can goof off in UMan and Meron and at the clubs on Rechov Rabbi Akiva, etc.

    4. Here we go.
      The s word. Call 'life' shmad, and everything is permitted.
      Going to work in the US is also 'shmad'. Yet we all know that it is forbidden to escape from life. Go to work, and fight your yetzer hara.
      The Israeli army is no different. Bochurim who aren't learning should not be borrowing the all-important dichui of those who are. Let them invest the efforts currently used for persuading Americans to fight Gedolei Yisroel and use them to help those who go to the army.

      This idea that bochurim need 'supervision' comes from chassidim. Litvishe Yeshivos believed in teaching independence.

    5. Thank you for your response.

      I agree that the gahs (street) is worse than it was in the mid 1980’s and 90,s
      But …. what is the eitzah???
      Should those that are not learning and are in the streets of Tel Aviv away from the blatt Gemara should they also not be drafted to the army because they will fall away from yiddishkeit ??

      What is the street of Tel Aviv doing for their Yiddishkeit??

      Is Dizengoff street any better than the army??

      You seem to think that most of guys that are drafted and are not in koslei BM are at home in the misgeres of their parents.

      Efsher…

      But What about the bochurim who closed the Gemara and are not in the misgeres of their parents’ should they not be drafted??

  9. If the airport allowed the town to sell the property to chemed they obviously don't need it, the money should therefore go directly to Lakewood township this makes absolutely no sense.
    It should be investigated enough of these backdoor deals stealing our tax money

    1. Don't be silly, whether or not it was needed it was bought using federal funds. That came with a condition that any money from the airport be used toward the airport.

  10. As per the article in this past voice, all can see that the airport is a total UNNECESSARY WASTE OF MONEY, their is a real airport that can accommodate jets just a few minutes away in Allaire. The Lakewood airport is totally useless besides making a few dollars

  11. Is this kollel going to be a new litvish community in the Catskills? I wish there would be a community for an existing, established family to join…
