  1. So what improvements did you make to your home to increase its value over your comps? Your taxes couldn't legally be raised more than 14% in that time period unless you jumped rates due to home improvements. I could show you every fucking town in NJ trying to manage the 2% cap, trying to keep it below 2% to bank the difference for a another year etc.. How many budget meetings have you attended in your own town? Any?
  2. How does home values increasing across the board relate to potential for revenue increases? Are people making more money because their homes are worth more? There's no correlation there to suggest people could afford the price increase. Most budgets are passed purely on the basis of household income, using like a line item budget increase to justify tax increases each year. It's a very different process than passing say the state budget. However, At the end of the day they can pass what ever budgets they would like. Most towns attempt to keep taxe increases low, I encourage people to participate in budget meetings each year.. they can be... colorful to say the least. The 2% cap is still in effect, so that limitation still exists.
  3. Not true, towns played this game using the 3 year. I believe it was 3 years. They could not increase taxes by a average of 2% over so many years. So if they increased taxes 4% one year the following years could only be 1% each or 0% and 2% respectively. The law Christie passed was pretty clear cut. A budget BUDGET could not increase by more than 2%..
  4. How did you come to this conclusion? Sounds like you just made it up. It makes perfect sense because total revenue is a fixed number, not a sliding value based on home value. Once a budget is passed for school and municipal services, only then does your property value dictate what you pay. Property values are literally the last thing to be considered when determining an individuals tax liability. "If the residents have to pay a higher percentage", that is again not how it works. If your home has increased in value more than another's, your tax liability can go up, which would cause cheaper properties liability to go down. This is common knowledge when ever a town conducts appraisals on home values. Let's say the school passed a 50 million budget, municipality passed a 20 million budget. Total tax revenue is determine to be 70 million. Now how do home values fit in there? They don't. Who's gonna pay how much to meet the 70 million tax liability for the town? Now we're talking home values. I can't imagine how this doesn't make sense.
  5. Tax offices or municipalities don't get more revenue because home values go up, or less if they go down. Property values simple determine what percent each resident contributes to the budgets bottom line. It's only a joke because under a business it's 100% an investment, land isn't depreciatlble but the taxes are expenses, and the structures are all depreciate capital assets with write offs and expenses. Imagine if the average person was given the same tax treatment...
  6. As of now, if it's over 26", does not have a stock, and has a vfg, the length of the barrel has no bearing on the classifications of the firearm. Which is exactly what you figured from the get go.
  7. Depends if your apply the new ATF proposed rules or not. Old rules? It's was OK. New rules... its really not known, but the atf signaled firearms over 26" with a brace would be considered a Rifle.
  8. Which chrono? I have the prochrono and while it says 10 feet, it's so you don't blast it over. They said it should still work up close you just have to be careful not to knock it over.
  9. Everyone has been wasting their money stocking up @ $120 1k pack 1 per order. It was bound to happen these people either ran out of money or realized they can't reload the volume they expected one way or another.
  10. I would stay away from anything that remotely uses the term flash in the product name. Both of those are "flash arresting brakes" The BCM is marketed as a compensator.
  11. I've been using the BCMgunfighter comp on all my rifles recently, MOD 1 is the long version for 14.5" barrels. It offers a lot useful functionality while being marketed as a compensator.
  12. Not a shot in hell he is able to change to school funding formual.. even if he manages it will be shot down by the NJSC if it resembles giving middle class a tax break. That's about the only relevant question they even asked him. The upside to Jack winning, is who he appoints as NJ AG.... I would vote for him to oust Grewal.
  13. I think your proving the point, that no one knows what this guy stands for.... cause he won't stand on anything... i have to ask him directly? Gtfo. His website is pretty clear and that's not at all what it says... under his "rights and freedoms" initiatives is written clear as day.. giving people access to carry for dangerous jobs has nothing to do with rights and freedom.
  14. Pretty sure last time he showed up around here he didn't have answers to these questions... at a gun club none the less... but on his website it says it all... he only supports people carrying if they have a dangerous job... Fucking Joe Manchin is a bigger republican than this guy.
  15. lol, yeah no.. not at all. That's a just a load crap in this instance. Jack doesn't beleive we should even have a right to carry... so don't even pull this " incremental" shit... because he sounds like he would sign njs AWB 2.0 He also hasn't stated he would shut down the state if he had to if it meant negotiating a state budget.. for as long it takes.. If you cant get on those two points, no vote from me. What will Jack fight tooth and nail for?
  16. You can get the threaded barrel.
  17. I dont think anyone needs Trumps coat tails, they just need a strong message people believe in.... like Trump. Too often these people just expect a vote becuase a D or R, or because they're not the "other guy". Im done voting that way. Besides Murphy is a much better politician than Jack, the guy never ran for office before and won too... no one ever heard of the guy before he showed up here. Murphy made this state his bitch with zero politcal experience.
  18. I won't be voting for him. As odd it sounds, Murphy has helped me financially in this state. I can't stand Murphy, I hate the guy with a passion... yet I have zero reason to vote for Ciatterelli... not a single reason. Which means I probably just sit out on this one.
  19. That's it.. the only reason I can think of voting for him is because he's NOT Murphy. And it seems to be his strongest message.
  20. Kim Guadagno had never previously run for any office when she beat Ciatterelli. Ciatterelli is working with the NJ GOP, with their endorsement, so ofcourse he's in touch with other GOP backed candidates. Theyre no different than the NJ DNC that turn their backs on all of Murphys opponents to make sure he won. This is why we call it the "swamp". Basically anyone who doesnt get the parties stamp of approval is shunned. If Ciatterelli couldn't beat guadagno, and she could bet Murphy by a long shot... what logic puts Ciatterelli ahead of Murphy?
  21. Pit party gets you access to the trucks, and pit crew and drivers. Cool experience. Timing is what it is... this turns a basic night event into an all day one.. Leave the wife at home...lol There's no other option AFAIK to get close to the trucks, I think you can even get rides in the big one with passenger seats at metlife.
  22. His mags shall live on. Rip
  23. Might want to go back and read the rules again... Anything over 26" is exempt from the point system for determining if its a SBR.. instead it immediately becomes an SBR... So every "other" becomes classified a SBR. Further if you bought one pre made, removing the brace does not change this. Hope you guys built one instead. The rules are confusing because they don't acknowledge that others over 26" with a brace a vfg are not pistols...
  24. People on the ciattarelli team? I'm curious because it's pretty obvious who was being vulgar in the video, and it wasn't Penna. So what? Sooo... its pretty obvious ciattarelli wife and the campaign tried to play off her own vulgarity by blaming it on Penna. Some of the press releases went even further and were pretty deceitful if you watch the video. Is this what we should expect from this guys campaign? Sounds like Christie 2.0
  25. So where is the unedited video you saw this vulgar attack? It is kinda moot anyway. We can just remember this all when Jack gets steam rolled by the NJ legislature. Who wants to take bets he would sign a bloated state budget just to avoid a state shut down like christie...
