JC schools have been playing with house money for decades, and given that it is Jersey City we can only imagine the graft and waste. Now that JC taxpayers will have more skin in the game, will they demand reform and transparency?

Yvonne, the result is a 2% increase in JC taxes. Considering how low JC taxes are compared to the NJ average your takeaway should be ‘how lucky JC taxpayers have been for decades’.

To be clear, the 100-200% tax increase refers to the portion of taxes that support schools, not your overall real estate tax, no? It’s so large, since JC homeowners currently pay such a tiny amount to fund JC schoolchildren.

Tax revenue 27 billion, tax break generated from that 3 billion. AOC is as stupid about math as she is on everything else.

We can agree on your last thought. At least the reval woke up some JC residents to wasteful school spending.

My point here is that as long as JC has been severely overfunded and undertaxed JC residents didn’t care about school funding, and BOE inefficient and wasteful spending. Now that’s changing we’ll see JC taxpayers sing a different tune.

Bullshit? Dad pays $32,000 per year in property taxes despite not having a child in school since 1978. And school cost in his town is less than $18,000/year.
JC residents pay 17% of the $23,000 cost. Pretty good deal. Fulop has been squealing about JC paying its fair share, to the point of getting the payroll tax rather than take care of its own children.

Plenty of people pay property taxes enough to cover education costs in the suburbs. As JC pays only 17% of educating its own children (and illegal kids) the impact is tiny. As JC will begin paying its fair share expect the tone to change.

Add in ESL, lunch, IEP’s, and I’m sure the average illegal kids costs well over $25,000/per student per year. Let’s say two kids-are their parents paying $50,000 a year in taxes?
Hell no.

The story guesses almost 12% of K-12 students are here illegally. If that’s the avg, then JC must be higher. Yet Fulop with his sanctuary city crap encourages illegals to come here. Imagine how much it costs the BOE and NJ taxpayers who carry JC’s load?

JC gives out zoning variances allowing builders to short parking in their new structures, then JC residents complain about lack of street parking.
A solution is available, don't give out those types of variances.

Wrong. The $1,000 is for non residents to park in municipal lots. Residents get a car sticker, for free, allowing them to park on their own residential block. The non resident fees are directed to out of towners who commute via NJ Transit trains and need to park their cars somewhere. https://www.redbanknj.org/189/Parking-Permits

By the way, Red Bank offers residents FREE on street parking on their own block, they just have to show their license and registration to verify. FREE is quite a bit lower than JC resident parking costs.

Other than Front or Broad Streets there is no parking issue in Red Bank; like many suburban towns people complain if they have to walk a half block to a store or restaurant. Comparing JC parking to Red Bank parking is absurd.
