awmakers in Trenton are at itagain, proposing new taxes topay for something the state ap-

parently cant afford. This time,theyre after gas, proposing to increasethe tax on it by five cents per gallon tohelp rebuild and repair New Jerseys

roads and bridges.Our initial response, when reading

this news, was you have to be kid-ding! The last thing we need in thisstate is to be taxed more, and here goesanother politician specifically stateSen. Raymond Lesniak this time put-ting forth a bill that would take moremoney out of our pockets.

Lesniak claims that the proposedtax increase would bring in about $250million a year for road repairs that aremuch-needed, and his research indi-cates that 40 percent of this sum

would come from out-of-state drivers.He also claims that the five-cent tax

increase would cost the average driverless than $100 more in gas each year.Hes probably right on that figure 15gallons per week, times five cents is 75cents, times 52 weeks is $39.

The point, though, is that its notabout the relatively low impact on res-idents wallets; its the fact that theresan impact at all.

Sure, $39 extra per year isnt a lot of money when you put it in perspec-tive thats two movie tickets, a pop-

corn and two drinks nowadays. Butthe fact that New Jersey residentshave to pay ANY extra tax on gasseems absurd to us.

When you combine a higher gas taxwith probable increases in municipaltaxes, school taxes and county taxes,

what you get is a snowball situationthat, over time, makes it financiallyunbearable to live in this state.

For once, our politicians shouldlearn a tried and true practice thatthey seem to ask us all to do to help outin times of need its called budget-ing. Our elected leaders need to domore with what they have. Cut thewaste, and be more efficient with whatwe have already given them.

Enough is enough when it comes totaxes. Its time for lawmakers to stepup and prove why we elected them.

in our opinion

Pay for roa ds with gas?Stop taxing the residents and star t m anaging the budget

Your thoughtsWhat are your thoughts when it comes toa proposed increase in the states gas tax?Is it a good way to fund repairs to roadsand bridges? Are you fed up with taxes inour state? Share your thoughts through aletter to the editor.

is nearing completion, and thefew remaining sections are slatedfor completion in the comingyear. The trail is open 24 hours aday and year-round, family-friendly and handicap accessible,and connects neighborhoods andcommunities. Horne explainedthat the success of the citizen-ledtrail construction has been due tothe support of the local govern-ment.

We are thankful for the coun-cils support and only requestthat you continue to support usand take advantage of the beauti-ful resource we can all share andknow that it was because of you,she said.

Horne also emphasized thatthe LHT is moving from construc-tion to maintenance logistics.Since the construction is nearlycompleted, it will be important tofacilitate maintenance program-ming and volunteer participa-tion.

The final presentation of theevening came from Geoffrey D.Acolia, municipal assessor, ex-plaining the results of the 2014revaluation. Conducted by Profes-sional Property Appraisers, thethree-year project has resulted inpreliminary results that Acoliadescribed as good news for thetownship.

Upon receiving new value let-ters, fewer than 1 percent of prop-erty owners attended reviewhearings about the results, andAcolia stated that so far he has re-ceived minimal complaints. Therevaluation is intended to bringproperties up to 100 percent of market value.

The report explained that 64percent of residential properties

have seen a decreased ratable and36 percent have increased. As forcommercial properties, 51 per-cent have decreased ratable and49 have increased. Acolia statedthat the revaluation results haveexpressed a trend that the taxburden has shifted to the com-mercial side of real estate intown.

The top five taxpayers of 2014in the township are the same aslast year with Bristol-MeyersSquibb, Quakerbridge Mall, Edu-cational Testing Service, AGPrism (Brandywine) and AvalonApartments.

The appeal deadline for revalu-ation results has been extendedby one month to May 1. To date,the department has seen 15 ap-peals.

Now, everyone is supposedlyat 100 percent of market valueand paying their fair share. I real-ly believe the revaluation wentwell. The team did good work andmy office, we were right on top of this stuff, Acolia said.

PEASANT PRICES.

Located a short distance from Albany, NY. All packages include a full hunting excursion, licensed guide, field dressing, as well as all meals and accommodations at our newly remodeled lodge. Fall and spring turkey, whitetail deer (archery, rifle, muzzleloader), pheasant (field and tower), coyote, rabbit, waterfowl.

The first phase of the librarymakeover was a result of a$46,000 grant from the foundationin February 2013. The major im-provements of that phase includ-ed a reduction in bookshelf height to encourage students whomay be reluctant readers and in-creased space to display studentwork. The first juice bar orcharging station was installed, aswell as 23 desktop computer re-placements with almost 60 lap-tops to optimize student collabo-ration. New furniture was pur-chased with the first grant andsome was reupholstered. Addi-tionally, the library layout was re-designed to provide for lecture in-struction.

Carina Gonzalez, LHS Librarymedia specialist, and Alyson Fis-cher, LHS assistant principal,

drafted the LTEF grant. Accord-ing to a press release, the grantspurpose is to promote literacyand life-long learning, support

modern technological skills andstudent collaboration and in-crease areas that are amenable togroup instruction and differenti-ated learning. Gonzalez present-ed the benefits observed since thecompletion of the first phase of the renovations at the BOE meet-ing. Some highlights included a73 percent increase in librarybook checkouts from October 2012to October 2013, a 55 percent in-crease in overall library spaceusage, a 76 percent increase indatabase usage and more fre-quent non-fiction shelf perusingand checkouts for pleasure.

The press release credited Gon-zalez extensive research whilewriting the grant for significantcontribution to the desired out-comes.

What I learned is that, whiletechnology is essential for the ed-

ucation of our global citizens,technology alone does not auto-matically improve student learn-ing outcomes. Technology is ef-

fective only when a solid infra-structure is in place to supportthat technology, Gonzalez said.

In addition to increases in li-brary book checkouts and brows-ing, other LHS classes are takingadvantage of the new space. Artclasses now often use free coun-tertops to display student art-work, and the Chromebooks areused so often they are all checkedout every school day. Teachers of all subjects also request to use thejuice bar for classes regularly,the release reports.

Every six months, somethingnew comes around the corner,and thanks to the LTEF, well beready, Gonzalez said.
