Reply to comment by aden_feifdom 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

Other states basically manage everything at the state or county level for the cost savings. It works. There is no reason a town like “Riverdale” for instance, needs to exist. They have their own government, all the overhead that entails, a school system… wtf why?

Shared services with neighboring communities (your county) means same level of service, lower management costs, lower property management costs, less overhead.

but NJ isn’t other states. i am not sure how such a radical change would even happen. lots of people would be against it. i am skeptical it could even be pulled off

Well if costs go any higher they are going to either be for it or be priced out of living here. Home rule is BS.
