Back in the mid 1970s, Senator Cowan came to a Van Vorst Park meeting pushing the state income tax. He said the state will cover the education expense of public schools. The idea of paying for a new state did not thrill me since the sales tax pushed in 1966 was supposed to do the same thing. However, the Senator convinced many Hudson County people and the state income tax was passed. Like the sales tax that was sold as way to pay for education, it did not. We were lied to. So we have a sales tax in 1966 and the income tax, We had had the lottery that promised the same thing. The state has a lot of money but it is not going for what it promised the people.

Jersey City to Invest $21M with Major Energy Infrastructure Improvements, Solidifying Jersey City’s Position as a Regional Sustainability & Resiliency LeaderJersey City to Invest $21M with Major Energy Infrastructure Improvements, Solidifying Jersey City’s Position as a Regional Sustainability & Resiliency Leader
Plans to Improve Community’s Overall Health; Construction of 1st Microgrid to Ensure Continuity of Critical Operations During any Emergencies
JERSEY CITY – Mayor Steven M. Fulop announced today a new partnership with Schneider Electric to implement Jersey City’s first Energy Savings Improvement Program (ESIP) to reduce operational costs, improve energy resiliency, and leverage energy savings to minimize cost on urgent capital infrastructure projects. The resolutions will go before the City Council on March 23rd to move forward on this revolutionary program which will achieve ambitious sustainability goals by maximizing funding from outside sources, such as utility rebates and incentives. The plan saves taxpayers $21 million in energy and operational costs over 20 years while funding over $19 million in urgent capital needs. Under the ESIP, Jersey City will also become the first in the country to create a self-sustainable municipal microgrid utilizing the 1.23 MW solar panel array installed at DPW last year to ensure continuity of vital service operations utilizing the municipal electric vehicle (EV) fleet operations, specifically EV garbage trucks. As the first on the entire East Coast to have EV garbage trucks in our municipal fleet, the microgrid takes the City’s efforts a significant step further by proactively preparing to provide power so that operations can continue through any type of power outages and emergencies with a 100% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. https://www.insidernj.com/press-releas ... bility-resiliency-leader/

If someone here has lots of free time, you could breakout payrolls by zip code:
https://www.census.gov/data/developers ... p-nonemp-zbp/zbp-api.html Doing so, you could estimate total state income and payroll taxes vs. total state aid / spending. I am sure there is a record for sales taxes as well.

JC spends 25% more per student than the state average, and has some of the worst schools in the entire state. Funding largesse obvious the issue. Somehow I?d guess there is a lot more waste, corruption, graft, nepotism, etc in JC than Princeton. Maybe address the waste first?

How about the state give each child X of state support, and if local towns want to exceed that they could tax the local residents more to support it?

I would love to see the numbers on where the income taxes are generated. Which countries generate the most income taxes per capita? Essentially your premise is that suburban areas do not subsidize Jersey City schools since siginficant income taxes generated in Jersey City is collected by the state and distributed back to the school boards. With JCBOE hisotircally getting one of the largest slices of the pie. Yet, it still seems unfair to some communities that pay high property taxes to fund their schools and generage tons of economic opportunity that rdsult in high property taxes. Surely out of the hundreds of municipalities in New Jersey that are some out there getting a raw deal. Here is a concept, why not have the state fund 100% of school costs through an increase in the income and/or sales tax and remove it completly from property taxes. The quality of a child's education should not depend on the property values within their zip code.

No property tax or other local tax levy from those places go to Jersey City.
The funding comes from the state, which raises it primarily through the income tax. And most state taxes are paid based on where the income is generated, not where the earner resides. Again, the resident of, say, Maplewood, says "why are my taxes going to Jersey City?" But if that resident is working in New York City, their taxes aren't going to Jersey City, because they're not paying income tax to the state at all (maybe some on passive investment income). If they are paying to New Jersey, it's because they work or run their business, or collect their rents, in New Jersey. Now maybe our Maplewood resident does this all in Maplewood. But they may also earn it in Hoboken, or Trenton, or Jersey City, depending on where they work and do business, collect their rents, etc. Similarly, a NY or PA resident (or any other out of state resident)that works in NJ pays income taxes that go to NJ. So do they have a right to complain that their money is going to schools in New Jersey?

NJ?s two biggest cities combined to suck up over 1.3 Billion in the last recorded school year. Go back over ten years (when they were getting more!) and it?s probably 15 billion. If the cities were such drivers why s that. And JC has the nerve to add a payroll tax (exempting JC residents!).

This is broader data but it demonstrates where the wealth is generated. Cities.

Please show us data, like I provide you. The graduated state income tax, costs the higher earning NJ taxpayers much more. And the wealthier NJ residents who work in NYC (less and less each year) also pay state income tax on other revenue they earn outside of salary. But show some numbers rather than an opinion not supported by the facts.

And that is largely irrelevant.
State income tax is mostly sourced based on where the income is earned, not the residence of the taxpayer. I say "mostly" because there is some income, such as passive investment income, that is sourced to the domicile of the earner. So when the resident of South Orange says "why are MY TAXES going to Jersey City schools," that really depends on where they are earning their income. If that resident commutes to a job in NYC, those taxes aren't going to Jersey City schools, because that resident pays no income taxes to NJ on their job income at all. It goes to New York. The income taxes from jobs in Jersey City go to the State of New Jersey. That's true whether the earner lives in Jersey City, commutes from a suburb, or commutes from out of state. Similarly, the income earned from a businesses profits is sourced based on where the business operates. Issues like nexus and allocation are a bit more complicated for business profits than they are for job income, but a business with workers, a storefront, or an office is going to pay taxes where those people and things are located, not where the owner sleeps at night. So cities like Jersey City do indeed generate most of the state's revenue. The jobs are here, the businesses are here, the buildings where tenants pay rent are here. This is true regardless of the average income of the resident in Jersey City. This just gets into the direct sourcing and generation of income. We haven't even touched the economic effect of consumer purchasing, the infrastructure strain cities are subjected to so that businesses may operate, and other indirect circumstances that result in the creation of wealth and revenue.

Another proofless claim. Back it up. Big NJ cities have much lower incomes by residents, and pay state income at much lower rates than suburban residents.

Exactly. And the jobs are here. Lots of the people saying "Why are my tax dollars going to Jersey City's schools" don't even pay income tax, or pay minimal income tax, to New Jersey. They commute into NYC and pay taxes to NYS and NYC. For income taxes sourced to New Jersey, the cities are the main site for such sourcing.

Taxes are designed to reallocate resources from rich areas to poor, that is one of their main purposes!
To highlight this redistribution and say it indicates a problem, is backwards, that is what taxes do! Robin.

There is a lot of hype on green energy. It is the reason why Michael Moore move was banned. It takes 32 acres to create energy for 1,000. Basically all of the wild life would have to disappear. https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/blo ... f-solar-power-panels.html

I think we found our winner for moron of the year. This is easily the dumbest comment on this site (a low bar), and shows a general lack of understanding for how things work, and for much JC has leeched off the state already at a net negative for the state.

Thinking it so doesn?t make so. Please provide hard numbers, as I did.
The Short Hills Mall, one of the highest sales per square foot malls in the country-Newport isn?t even in the top ten in the state. Wanna bet who send more sales tax cash to Trenton. All 8 NJ billionaires don?t earn their living in JC. Tiny Short Hills has 3, paying the states highest RE taxes, while paying for your schools. Appooloza Fund, which was next door to the SH Mall, was sending hundreds of millions in taxes to NJ-so much that the billionaire owner moved it to Florida. So let?s see your numbers!

Not just sales tax but income tax from jobs in the city.
And the city also has the vital infrastructure to keep the economy moving and growing. Cities generate the economic activity that raises revenue, suburbanites take lots of that money home with them but get upset when some of it comes back to keep the cities functioning. Abbott rectified that, then SFRA took it back. Sort of an "All Lives Matter" moment but for students.
