JERSEY CITY -- The City Council last night unanimously introduced a $572 million budget for 2017 that comes with no municipal tax hike.

In a statement, Mayor Steve Fulop credited an increase in hotel tax collections, municipal court fines and revenue from tax abatements for the steady tax rate. This is the third year in a row municipal taxes are not expected to rise.

The city will now move to the budget hearing stage, when department directors will appear before the council to explain their spending requests for the year. The budget isn't usually formally adopted until at least the summer.

Yvonne, I actually agree with you. How about decreasing property taxes by $6.5 million to make up for the increase in water rates?? Just annoying politicking from city hall. State changes in school aid can't come soon enough. I'm tired of this BS.
