Guest Guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I have to agree. I do not understand the complacency. Maybe there is a different majority population who does not desire to run for office, and just accepts what is given out because they don't quite know what else to do, or Kearny is so much better than where they came from, they just don't complain. Whatever the reason, Kearny needs some changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same tired and trite excuses. Admit it. It's not that the anti-Santos forces haven't really tried to beat the Santosians, they just failed miserably! In the end, after all the whining, debating and plotting, only one fact is relevant---the votes. And Santos and Co. have captured that prize!

I read that post as an opinion, not an attack on Santos & Co. as you put it. Why so defensive. By the way, there hasn't been a politically smart group who knows how to run a campaign in this town in a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Looking around Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 The people have no say in their ever increasing tax bills. Do you really feel your money is well spent? Tax and spend. And spend they do. Next thing you know they will be selling the water company to make ends meet. Only this time they will really sell it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And spend they do. Next thing you know they will be selling the water company to make ends meet. Only this time they will really sell it! Bullshit. The people do have a say. Here are the options: 1) Run and win a seat on the Council or BOE 2) If you are not "equipped" to handle #1, elect a person who is and 3) MOVE. Pick one and run with it. Tell us how much your house has gone up in value? Tell us what towns in New Jersey are lowering taxes on a regular basis. If there were such locations people would be flocking. They don't exist. Am I happy when I see a tax increase? Of course not. But where are they not increasing? The bitching and moaning but lack of true action on this board is unbelievable.

It's true Joe. The town we grew up in has become a cash cow. Sorry but it's true. Actually I liked Santos out of the gate, but I think he has dug a very large hole these past few years with all the bonding and taxes will climb each quater as a result of this bonding. But hey, this remains to be seen. Take care and don't be fooled. Remember, cheer leaders don't win the game only the players rack up the points.

The people complaining should post the results of the research they have done to make the statements they are making. Unless, of course, they didn't do the research in the first place and are just complaining to hear themselves complain. They should put up or shut up.

In some cases they probably pay more, but there are communities that pay less then Kearny. It's a fact Joe research or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Please show me a time in history when that has happened?JW <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mid to late 80's housing prices took a dump and were about half of what they are now and taxes kept on going up. In the early and mid 90's prices crept up and taxes went up substantially. In the past few years housing prices have really gone up, so have taxes. The market won't continue like this, prices will go down but taxes won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Mid to late 80's housing prices took a dump I don't believe that is true. Show me the statistics. When in history was the average sale of a house lower than the average owner's purchase price. JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see it in numbers. What are those same houses going for today? If this in fact did happen, they should have rode out the down turn and avoided taking a loss.

I don't have the stats, but I remember the incidents. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course it's true. Just ask all of the people who ran out and got their real estate licenses in the mid and late eighties when the market was peaking. A couple of years later the market tanked and they couldn't sell anything. It took about 15 years for the prices to rebound to where they are now. I guess if you never sell your house it doesn't matter. But JW wants you to believe that the value of your house is worth the taxes you pay and, depending on the market, this is simply not the case. Of course his answer will be to get him the statistics. Another of his lame responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
