[quote="Guest"]It's nice to see Mr. Mulligan and Taylor openly confronting the state aid issue and I hope and expect given how our TC operates that the other TC members will support this and our town. It's good to see that they are looking at all avenues and ways to help our town financially. I was upset with the tax increase, but at least I know that the TC is looking for ways to support our local interests and are not content with the state politicians continuing to through money toward the cities or simply spending for the sake of spending. Given the "found money" in our state tax budget I hope that this gains traction so all property owners benefit.[/quote]

Chris Christie and the state Legislature to provide the proper amount of state aid to municipalities. <br /> <br /> ”They (the league) have drafted a resolution, and they’re asking all towns in the league for the governor and senators to honor the constitution and provide state aid according to the state aid formula,” Committeeman Jay Taylor said. <br /> <br /> He said a resolution to support the league in this effort will come before the Township Committee at its meeting Monday. The committee has expressed how Cranbury doesn’t get its fair share of state aid. <br /> <br /> ”It’s not a Republican or Democratic issue,” Committeeman Dan Mulligan said, “but, unfortunately, it goes down to the local level. It’s about standing up for the town because our finances are being affected by it.” <br /> <br /> So far, 135 municipalities have signed the resolution that will come before the committee Monday. The resolution includes a spreadsheet detailing how much state aid each municipality receives and how much it should receive. <br /> The formula states Cranbury should receive $852,242 for 2011 when it only anticipates receiving $467,020. That $385,222 difference would have provided Cranbury with enough money to practically keep taxes flat this year, Committeeman Jay Taylor said. <br /> <br /> This year, neighboring Monroe Township anticipates receiving $2,263,503 in state aid, and Jamesburg anticipates receiving $413,705. The league’s resolution soon should come before their governing bodies as well. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.centraljersey.com/articles/2011/05/20/cranbury_press/news/doc4dd5a65691b0f237483242.txt" target="_blank">http://www.centraljersey.com/articles/2011/05/20/cranbury_press/news/doc4dd5a65691b0f237483242.txt</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
