I am just as furious about our property taxes as your are. In five years mine have gone from 3600 to 4300. There is something we can do about it. Various groups are trying to organize the constitutional convention to rework how we colect taxes and are trying to get the spending side included as well. We NEED your help. Most of the people involved or who are vocal are retired. I am consistently one of the youngest in the room during events on the subject. We need younger people to help. Even people to be delegates should the convention happen.

Here are some websites:

http://www.state.nj.us/convention/
http://www.citizens4propertytaxreform.org/
http://www.njcpg.org/index.html

The first is the website for the taskforce that gave the recommendation in December. The second is a group I belong to. The "chair" was on the state commission and is working towards lower property taxes. If you are interested, email him and tell him Josh sent you or simply PM me.

We need the boiling-over rage of everyone to force Trenton to let this thing happen. It may not solve the problem but it is better than doing nothing. When you vote (at all levels), vote for someone who is making taxes a key issue and actually has a plan (as opposed to a douche who is all lip service).

I could write a book on the root causes but there is a lot out there. If you google "NJ Tax Convention" you'll find a lot. It is opposed by groups that like the status quo (like the teachers union) or fear the elimination of "Abbott" (the NAACP).
