Reply to comment by JCwhatimsayin in Corrupted Jersey City Property Taxes by NTend7777

It's a hard situation for JC property owners. On the one hand, being human, I'm sure most of them want children in the public schools to receive a fair education. On the other hand, it's pretty clear JC public schools suck ass and the large amounts of money being levied are not being spent well.

Why is it pretty clear they suck??? We are one of the only districts in NJ with free universal prek 3 prek 4 and kindergarten. So all these people living in those tax abated condos in downtown have for YEARS gotten free daycare. Then when the kid hits 6 years old off and they need more room off to the suburbs they move. I know plenty of adults who have moved to jc for the idea of free preschool daycare. We also provide some of the best special education resources that are free to families. Head out to the suburbs who get MORE MONEY to educate children and see what services are available.

It's always like this, local politicians want to increase taxes and use education as hostage to get citizens to agree to pull out their checkbooks
