Reply to comment by VanWorst in If you think taxes are high now, just wait until the 2023 school budget. People will be priced out of their homes. by mbstor23

Funny thing is, next year’s hike has nothing to do with improving school quality and everything to do with replacing state aid that was lost since Jersey City has been oversubsidized for years.

Inflation will also be interesting as the cost of everything is going up.

State has been warning this was coming for at least 10 years now (I think it’s actually quite a bit longer).

JC had a long time to prepare, but felt things like a blank check for a museum was a higher priority.
