Your entire post is predicated on a false premise: the city doesn't collect LESS revenue with an abatement. Quite the opposite! In most cases, th city is making more money than if a development paid the regular tax, as the city gets to keep virtually all of the revenue from the abated taxes, instead of having to share said revenue with the BOE, or the county.


That is an absolute lie that the city is collecting less money. The city is basing its numbers on the value of the land from the 1988 revaluation. Every year, the city hires an outside assessor (res.17-104) on properties. Instead of using current values,they use old figures and say they are paying more taxes. The property should be assessed according to market rate and use those numbers. The city is practicing fraud. I cannot sell my property based on 29 years old figures so the city should not use old figures, too.

The 'school' ends at first grade? That's not even half a school. Disgraceful deal.

JERSEY CITY -- The City Council last night approved a 25-year tax break for a proposed 52-story Columbus Drive residential tower that will include a new public school paid for by the developer.

The council's 6-3 vote on the tax abatement came after a lengthy public hearing that saw more than two dozen people sound off on the plan, a large majority of them union workers who said the project would bring needed jobs to city residents. Dozens more union workers sat in the audience with signs urging the council to approve the deal.
