Nothing to see here.

NJEA commercials on constantly about their health benefits lately.

Union propaganda on how they the ASSembly and rat face murphy are gonna save you money.

If it goes towards rent, isn't that in turn then helping bail out people renting out property owners? Are they not small business owners too?

Once again, the issue flies right over your head... 

Why does Newark get to hand out free state funded tax money? While everyone else gets jackshit? Thats not even considering  a lot of renters already pay reduced rent because tax payers offset the cost.

No.  And I have a hard time believing the rat filled ASSembly would do anything for the tax raped citizens benefit.  Probably ANOTHER scam by the Norcross insurance family of the democrat mafia to scam more millions.

How do you know a NJ democrat is lying?

Their lips are moving.

I would tend to agree, but making informed statements is what sents us apart from people like greenday. 

I've read up a little bit on it, and it does seems like it will save us money. They created new programs that remove public workers from platinum plans indefinitely in the future. Current plans remain in place as long as your enrolled in it. Only 2 plans will be offered, one significantly increase out of pocket cost for out of network, the other is a NJ service plan only.. covers nothing out of state..

The only way they made this deal was by cutting around chapter 78, and relaying some savings back to the subscriber. There was a give and take.

According to the article about the issue, the money comes from a federal grant, not the state. And also from the city's housing trust fund.

As for school taxes, I wouldn't expect anything in the form of tax relief.

Cities housing trust fund= state taxes 

Federal grant = federal taxes

While I appreciate the clarification its really doest change anything. Its just a redistribution of wealth scheme, meanwhile people out of work and broke everywhere else get nothing in regards.

"According to the article about the issue, the money comes from a federal grant",

 

Oh you mean our Fed tax money  LOL.   Let's crank up the presses till a loaf of bread is 10$-20$ +

Don't matter if the left hand or the right hand is robbing us.  It's still.......................us.

I'm all for a hand up which this is IMHO - not  hand out's 

If it helps to keep a lid on a potential boiling pot this summer - good. 

Ending property taxes is another movement which is gaining steam and is long overdue.

That's a good one... 

 

I mean.. its probably the only tax you actually recieve services for in NJ.  Everything else gets flushed into urban areas.

Even that isn't guaranteed.   I live on a road that years ago was reclassified by the town from public to private (one of a couple of dead-end roads they did this to, affecting maybe two dozen houses).    As far as anyone can tell, it was a cost saving measure, as the roads were in awful shape, and the town didn't want to re-pave, though it also let them stop providing leaf pickup and snow removal.

I wasn't here when that happened, but all attempts to fight it at the time failed.  So now we have to pay for those services out-of-pocket, and two years ago the road I'm on finally got to be so bad, so unpatchable, that the six homeowners who live on it ponied up the money to have it re-paved.   Not an inexpensive undertaking, and my blood still boils when I drive to the end of our privately funded road and see the public street sign the town left up.  And you can be sure the bastards who abandoned the homeowners here did not reduce our property taxes by one damned dime.

And why isn't that sign resting on the bottom of  lake?

My township got a whopping $0.00 in aid.  And I had the same conversation with neighbor the other day that Ms Peel had.   This neighbor was just a ball of happiness when I saw her walking at 1pm (I was getting my mail).  She said she’s enjoying her early summer since she’s only required to work from 9-1.  I told her that i hope she enjoys me paying for salary and taunting it while my kids struggle to keep up next year.  She was shock I said that and then just walk away.

I guess no one has wanted to waste the effort to take it down.  But someone did take down the speed limit sign that used to be there.  :-)
