I also like how they say the average rent downtown. Does that average include the new luxury apartment buildings? It would be nice if they can tell us the average rent downtown for a rent-control apartment.

One last thought - did the city give advance warning to the developer that they were failing to meet the conditions of the tax abatement? Was the developer given an opportunity for due process or an opportunity to correct deficiencies with the tax abatement while the building was under construction.

This information on his personal life did not bother Fulop when he gave the tax abatements in 2013 along with $10 million in redevelopment bonds.

Out of curiosity where is the map of the proposed track?

"Balcer said the council should reduce the number of public hearings it has at each meeting rather than limit how much time each speaker has to comment." That statement is incorrect, I said the council should limit the number of items on the agenda. In the past you would have 6 second reading ordinances, now it is 16. The council president control what ordinances are on the agenda, not the public.

Or better yet you could just spend a minute to look it up online and see that Junior is CURRENTLY the County Clerk.

When you go to NJ.com and click on Menu - you will see a new menu drop-down. Instead of offering to connect you to the news by county, you are now offered a connection to the specific newspaper. I clicked on Jersey Journal and was brought to a website - http://www.jjoffers.com/ - which offered me a monthly digital subscription to the JJ for $19.95 per month. Thanks, Terrence, for the link. I hope that doesn't cut a reader off after viewing a certain number of articles.

Shame to log on to NJ.com to find that the Jersey Journal online went behind a subscription pay wall today. I enjoyed reading the local coverage. Most online newspapers have gone this way, I suppose.

Is this a 1% tax on JC business employees, or a 1% tax on payroll paid by the companies?

Yvonne, you know the MUA is autonomous and not under the control of the Mayor's Office right? Fulop doesn't set the rates that the MUA pays. These rate increases were started by the MUA before Fulop even became mayor.

isn't it Healy's term as mayor? Was it actually Fulop's nomination from Ward E??.

Not listed as one of the nominees - looks like the NJ.com didn't research its own story.

Based on the below has it been confirmed whether the letter to FM is a fake? Could it be from someone in the building or living nearby?

Can anyone shed any light on how they got the results of their reval and how long after the inspection it took to be notified? I've checked Appraisal Systems online database but my home isn't listed yet. Their website says that all notices will be mailed at the same time (In November?!). What's the real story?

At the HCA meeting with Fulop and Solomon on Monday the 12th, it was mentioned that all value letters will be sent by February 19.

Perhaps Terrance McDonald can confirm this date?

just curious, when is the next reval ? or is it down annually using some type of algorithim.

also, does any one have some chart, figures indicating overall overall under/over valuation for different sections of the city?

Terrence, While I do understand how difficult the news game is today with low budgets & staffing (FIL was a paper publisher & journalism school prof), the fact is the JJ was very late to this game.

So, the JJ being misinformed or ignorant is just par for the course, apparently.

100,000 is not too high - if memory serves (and there hasn't been a voter roll cleanup in the past couple of years) the number of registered voters is around 130,000.
