Searched and didn't see this posted previously.
With so many things that could have been eliminated or reduced (unions, state workers, "arts" programs, etc.), the Democrats decided that THIS was the smart move. Can't wait to see the fallout from this.

So you pay property tax to your town, but your state won’t let you deduct it. Cute.

New Jersey citizens sacrificed on the Democrats altar of taxes to appease their Class Warfare gods.

The $29.8 billion proposal represents "tough choices to do the right thing," Corzine told a joint session of the Legislature.Why is it politicians can always find the "courage" to stick it to the middle class taxpayer but can NEVER find the guts to actually cut the pork out of their budgets.

property taxes are very high in NJ- losing the deduction will mean thousands extra in tax?

I moved to South Carolina a year and half ago and three of my immediate neighbors are transplants from NJ.....they cited taxes as one of the reasons. This will help a whole lot

NJ was the Crossroads of the Revolution.
Maybe it can be so again.
I lived in New Jersey for 52 years. It is a beautiful state, but the people keep electing Dems, who tax them relentlessly.
I left for greener, and less expensive pastures three years ago, to the shock of many close friends. Now they wish they had done the same.

This will come to more and more states.
Mark my words...one day this will all come to a head. “Soak the rich” policies make good politics but bad politics. Eventually, we all end up paying in some way shape or form
