Gusciora Calls for a

Property Tax Rollback

August 2010

After slashing aid to municipalities by $445 million, Governor Chris Christie has offered them “tool kits” to cushion the blow of expectant property tax increases. A “tool kit,” however, implies pocket wrenches or screw drivers to tinker with a problem until a professional arrives. In essence, the Governor’s plan calls for a 2.5% cap on local property taxes. Democrats should toss the “tool kits” and instead offer a “jack hammer” to restructure the way we fund local government services – now based on property taxes. It begs the question, if you can’t afford to pay property taxes now, does it really matter they can only go up another 2.5%? Citizens do not need a cap. They need a rollback!
