PROPERTY TAXES – to increase or not increase. The subject is often used as a political “line in the sand” for many voters. Putting politics aside, this Wednesday the Jersey City Council will be debating a proposed 25% property tax hike. Regardless of how your feel about taxes, an increase of this magnitude may be worth your time and energy to attend the Council meeting and witness your government in action. For some background on the proposed taxes, check out this article from NJ.com.

Mattias, along with his wife Alice Troietto, are quietly redefining Brunswick Street since they arrived in The Village nearly 10 years ago. Gone are the pushcarts, meat markets, and fruit stands of Brunswick Street’s past. Streets evolve, some more slowly than others. After decades of seemingly Continue reading →
