NJ can REMOVE SCHOOL TAX  from our  PROPERTY TAX

Property Tax Relief

We are going to stop our property taxes from being used to fund education. PERIOD

The State of Michigan removed school taxes from property taxes over 8 years ago.  That is why they deserve the blue ribbon. Read MORE on How Michigan did it, Letter from The Superintendent of School Finance to Jack Wagenti.

Michigan took it a step further and ensured the local School Boards retained control, " ... the same total level of funding is available but decisions as to which programs to continue or expand and which programs to reduce are the responsibility of the local district".    ~ excerpt from Michigan Superintendent  of School Finance  -  IF MICHIGAN CAN DO IT - NEW JERSEY CAN DO IT

SHOULD SCHOOL TAXES BE REMOVED FROM NEW JERSEY PROPERTY TAXES?

The New Jersey Supreme Court said that 27 years ago.

How are we in NJ going to do that?
