Reply to comment by Skerppp in The officials dealing with efforts to control New Jersey’s record-high property taxes are meeting in Atlantic City this week to discuss pressing issues like inflation and rising public worker benefit costs: The annual conference comes as the average property-tax bill has risen to nearly $9,300 by rollotomasi07071

Who said they had too...not every town and city needs to merge...but we have way to many in this state. Larger towns/cities like Montclair , Newark , Jersey City , Trenton , Washington Township (Gloucester), New Brunswick are fine the way they are but mini towns like East Newark , Guttenberg , South Hackensack , Teterboro , Bordentown city , Burlington City , Fieldsboro should merge into their neighboring towns/cities... That also applies to Counties like Salem > Cumberland , Sussex > Warren , Gloucester > Camden.

I definitely agree to an extent.. I just think county wide consolidation would be hard to implement. But those pockets of small borough towns can definitely do some consolidation on top of having regional school districts

None of the proposals in the past called for every town to fold into one just the small ones and some of the small shrinking counties...
