Ask for a tax appeal. Most of your houses were assessed when the property values were still high. I know many people who have had their taxes reduced in the past year. You can do it yourself or use an atty. Most attys don't charged unless they are successful.

Should have proof my post better. I screwed up. U get the point.

As part of the community, I very much support programs to benifit our children. My question is how much of the $822,000 (stated in today's Jersey Journal) is going toward the children? If the money is being used to buy the property, tear it down and build new, it doesn't seem like there is any money for the children. Also, this is only for a select 15 children, which was stated by Mr. Walker in several community meetings, and not for all the children of our community. It was also mentioned these children are already in an after school program at 22 school. With $822,000 we would be able to send at least 400 students from the community to schools like ST. Peter's Prep and St. Dominics for the entire 4 yrs or even to college. $822,000 just for a bldg, I don't see how that benifts our children!

Thank you to the brave officers and prayers for the victims. There is an organized neighborhood watch in the community. Hopefully more people will join.

Praying it isn't true. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

Any word on Caesar's Cafe? They were the bar in the Bergen-Lafayette section of JC. See a for sale sign but heard they might re-open. I miss their Happy Hour.
