[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love for MoCo to be broken up - maybe into 5 or 6 pieces?  It’s just too big to govern properly.[/quote]

Please. I am tired of subsidizing the entire county. States up north (Penn, NJ, Conn, NY etc) have townships. Let's go to that model. Your taxes go to pay for your public services in your town. Roads. Schools. Police. etc.[/quote]

Horrible.  NJ is a corrupt cesspit.  The whole township model is a big reason for it.  Property taxes are mindwarping in NJ, because each dumb township has to spend money for their own cops/fire depts/etc.  A tremendous waste of resoures and tax dollars because of that model. Gotta love how MoCo people already complain about property taxes now, but then state they want a model that'd make taxes even worse. [/quote]
Property taxes in Montgomery County are basically the same as most of northern Jersey. [/quote]
That is delusional. I own a ~$1M house on 1/3 acre here and pay the same - around $8000 - as I do for my house in Jersey which is worth way less and on less than half that amount of land. And that’s in a shore town with a ton of town businesses, beach revenue, and crappy schools.

My friend in Short Hills has a house with about the same assessment and land amount as I have here - she pays $21K.[/quote]
