Cutting The Cost Of Local Government In New Jersey
As New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, Senate President Dick Codey and Assembly Speaker Joe Roberts look to reduce the cost of local government with the CORE plan, we hope they keep in mind where the greatest savings can be found.
This example from Assembly Speaker Joe Roberts' neck of the woods - the cost of local government in Camden as compared to Cherry Hill - might be a good place to start. Why wait until 2009, Corzine, Codey and Roberts can start saving taxpayers money today.
"For too long property owners have been getting blitzed with taxes advancing further and further. It's time that we not only hold the line, but push them back," said Codey (D- Essex). "Unless we attempt to create greater efficiency and reduce spending at the local levels, we will only be chasing our tails."
"Since New Jersey's homeowners don't get a vacation from high property taxes, the Legislature shouldn't get one either," said Roberts (D-Camden). "Solving the problem of sky-high property taxes cannot be left to one person, one party, or one half of the Legislature. Today we are launching a full-court press to make major repairs to New Jersey's broken property tax system."

I made this same comparison from the Star ledgers chart because their populations are very close. Whats worse is that Cherry Hill costs much less and is run very well while the complete opposite is true for Camden. Take some pepto-bismol before you look at Newarks numbers.
Well, I do not actually imagine it is likely to have effect.
