“We, the overtaxed residents of Passaic, NJ, declare that we will no longer sit idly and accept what amounts to legalized theft. Passaic already had one of the highest taxation rates in the country. To add an additional 12% increase is beyond the pale...especially in the midst of the worst downturn since the Great Depression!
We declare that we will throw out of office any elected official who does not make it his or her personal mission to lift this oppression off of our middle class, hard-working residents.”
im hearing from so many of you about how this increase is hitting your family budgets and it is honestly heartbreaking. we arent just numbers on a spreadsheet and im working on getting a meeting set up so they have to look us in the eye.

the momentum behind this is honestly wild and it shows just how tired everyone is of being ignored. people are really waking up to the fact that we dont have to just take these tax hikes lying down.
