Pretty mind-blowing that the JC school budget $643m is higher than the City budget $516m.

As for "pay their fair share"... I'm pretty sure we do. Unless you don't actually live in JC which would make it odd for you to be posting on a forum for JC residents...


I spend more than 50% of my time in JC, but I'm a legal resident of Essex County, in a city who pays over 85% of the cost of educating our own children and has the highest taxes in NJ because of our tax money being diverted to cities like JC. So I feel helping to pay to educate JC children I'm entitled to post here since it's partly on my dime.
