The 2% cap is the biggest joke! It exempts retirement money and health care costs - the two largest…Read More expenses a municipality has. Every town can claim expenses of both. They just have to ask for an approval and they can go over the cap. It was nothing more than a marketing campaign.

Sadly, for most shore towns, as those home/property owners who are unable to re-build and abandon…Read More properties or simply default on their real estate taxes, that short fall will have to be made up by a re-casting of the tax rate on those who have viable properties. So the Christie 2% real estate tax cap is "out the window" and you folks are screwed. I didn't hear anything about in Christie"s "I'm bigger than the storm" TV ads that New Jersey Taxpayers are paying for! Happy about that?

This is confusing . Over taxed middle income with what was million dollar shore homes. Must really…Read More be missing George W Bush. Can anyone explain why the charge use to leave.

Please explain how the RVC will profit from this, as you claim? And surrounding areas flooding our…Read More train station?? Get real......

Basic economics. If you don't understand how offering a new service could benefit them financially,…Read More then I can't help you. If they are only doing this purely for altruistic reasons, then ask yourself this - why do they need to show us a presentation to try to sell us on it?
Careful on this one, Cranford. Our downtown will never be the same again.

I think streetfairs.org and the town officials put their heads together.

Very touching story about a remarkable family. I vote for Luke to win the van

I am Lukes cousin and he is a very good cousin to me. If you talk to him sometimes he will make…Read More noises

This will kill the businesses on South Avenue that are just finally recovering from Irene. Couldn't…Read More the work be done in off hours? There is already a lot of traffic on North and South Avenues during he day. Are the shop owners ever taken into consideration when these decisions are made?

Over the years, hospitals have gone from one extreme to another. Years ago, anyone showing any…Read More mental stress/distress was sent to a State Psychiatric hospital where they were treated pretty severely with over medicating and shock treatment.
There were a lot of "accidental deaths" in those facilities. It's a tough situation.
I know of a family's tragic loss of someone that was put in one of the Psychiatric facilities, admitted they were being over medicated, died of sudden "heart attack" and dismissed all questions about the autopsy. The family was in shock and did not follow thru quick enough to get a second autopsy. It's a tough topic either way.

I also have first hand knowledge of family & friends that have lost Close family members to…Read More suicide and I have attended many group sessions for S.A.S. (survivors after suicide) and took a long time to realize that once a person makes that decision, it is Very hard to stop. (I accept it as a Cancer of the Mind).
I wish you and your family all of the best. I know how deeply it effects the family forever and you can only try to fight (depression, grief) after it every day and try to stay positive. God Bless you and your Family and friends.

thank you for reading and hopefully sharing this article. I am still so upset that the justice…Read More system and especially the health care system FAILED a very needy man who was begging for help.

You nailed it Patty. I lost my mom to cancer five years ago. Sometimes memories arrive with the…Read More softness of an evening in May......sweet and bittersweet.. Other times like a kick to the stomach and a flood of grief that makes it hard to take a deep breath. I don,t look for it to go away. I lost my best friend. Just the price to be paid for the privilege of having this wonderful person who was my Mom.
