Please sign the petition to stop the Jersey City property tax increase.

http://www.gopetition.com/online/33870.html

If you haven?t heard, your February 2010 quarterly tax bill is 25% higher than your November bill. Your May bill will be identical to Feb.

We already pay high taxes and the schools and county taxes will be going up too!

That makes for another annual tax increase of almost 14% just for the City with no end in sight. The city has run out of 1 shot gimmicks and has done nothing to cut the annual $40+ million deficit?. the Healy patronage, excessive OT and sweet heart deals are alive & well.

This petition asks Governor Christie to disallow the increase in real estate taxes and refuse to grant Jersey City its pending application to increase real estate taxes above the mandated 4 percent annual ceiling.

The city had its application to raise taxes above the 4 percent ceiling approved last year... stopping the application may make the city to reconsider the proposed tax increases, and potentially reconsider its budget, revenues, expenses and priorities.

The petition is online. Please sign it.
