The Record
Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan will propose a 2013 budget today that would raise county spending 4.1 percent.
That will mean an additional $29.18 in property taxes for the owner of the average home assessed at $340,000.
The overall increase – which includes areas of spending not covered by the state’s two percent budget cap – does not call for any layoffs. The tax hike will generate an additional $14.8 million in revenue.
About $2.7 million of that money will go toward paying salaries and fringe benefits for the staff of a new $28 million juvenile detention center in Teterboro that is scheduled to open later this year.
Democrats will win by a landslide if Donovan doesn’t stop her big government big spending ways
She has to pay for that ” white elephant” of a dispatch center at a lost of 1 million per year.
