AS BUDGET LOOMS TAX COLLECTION IS GOOD

Mayor Vic De Luca on Tuesday said the Township's tax collection rate is at a solid 99%, meaning nearly all of the taxes owed are being paid.

He said this is important as the TC plans for its budget hearings in January and expected that two Saturday budget hearings would be held, most likely Jan. 10 and Jan. 31.

He also said a new addition to the budget hearing process will be the option for residents watching at home to email in questions to the township committee and see them answered during the hearing.
