Fifty years later... are we still having the same property tax debate?
During the FY2027 budget debate, Assemblyman Greg Myhre argued programs like ANCHOR and Stay NJ provide relief but don't fix why New Jersey's property taxes remain among the nation's highest.
"Here we are 50 years later having the exact same conversation."
Watch his Assembly floor remarks.

Did you know the movie Jaws is based on real events that happened in New Jersey between July 1st & 12th 1916?
The Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 were a series of shark attacks along the coast of New Jersey in which four people were killed and one critically injured
The incidents occurred during a deadly summer heat wave and polio epidemic in the United States that drove thousands of people to the seaside resorts of the Jersey Shore
Since 1916, scholars have debated which shark species was responsible and the number of animals involved, with the great white shark and the bull shark most frequently cited
Personal and national reaction to the fatalities involved a wave of panic that led to shark hunts aimed at eradicating the population of "man-eating" sharks and protecting the economies of New Jersey's seaside communities
Resort towns enclosed their public beaches with steel nets to protect swimmers. Scientific knowledge about sharks before 1916 was based on conjecture and speculation
The attacks forced ichthyologists to reassess common beliefs about the abilities of sharks and the nature of shark attacks
I voted NO on the $350 million+ Jersey City bailout Bill.
This bill A5326 is loaded with pork and dumps over $100 Million into Jersey City, which is a taxpayer funded reward for gross mismanagement. Our big cities spend recklessly, refuse to cut costs, and run to Trenton for "loans" that will likely never be repaid.
This bill even contains a special funding carve-out for the hazelnut. The hazelnut aspires to be the state nut of New Jersey, it isn't (not yet anyway) and it certainly doesn't deserve seed money for a non existent industry.
Hardworking NJ families are struggling with record inflation and high property taxes. The state treasury can ill afford to be an ATM for cities that refuse to budget and nutty projects that could be privately funded.

New Jersey Cost of Living Crisis Worsens in 2026
If your paycheck feels thinner every month, you're not alone. New Jersey's cost of living has spiked again this year, remaining one of the highest in the nation
The Big Picture: Living in NJ costs 12% more than the national average
A single person needs about $2,772 per month for basics (rent, groceries, gas, etc.)
A family of four faces a staggering $6,104 per month
Overall costs rose 3.2% year-over-year, driven heavily by housing and energy
Housing – The Biggest Pain Point
Rents are 32% above the national average
Median one-bedroom apartment: $2,084/month
Jersey City downtown: $2,700–$3,400
Hoboken: $2,800–$3,500
Newark (near transit): $1,700–$2,300
Median home price: $505,000 (up 5.4% from last year)
Other Key Increases:
Groceries:
Families spend $1,404/month (8% above national average)
Singles: ~$274/week
Auto insurance: $1,523/year ($264 above national avg)
Healthcare: Employees pay $2,057/year in premiums (vs. $1,640 nationally)
These numbers add up fast, rent, food, transport, and healthcare alone can easily exceed $4,600/month for a family before utilities, childcare, or savings
New Jersey consistently ranks among the priciest states, and 2026 has made it tougher for families to stay, save, or get ahead
Many are asking: How do we afford to live here? What’s hitting your budget hardest in NJ right now?
Remember that those in Trenton are highly responsible for this, never forget how badly their decisions affect how much things cost here

New Jersey ranks dead last in FREEDOM — most overregulated state in the nation, according to the Cato Institute’s Freedom in the 50 States study.
And Democrats here want to lecture everyone else about “rights,” “freedom” and “democracy.”
Maybe start by giving New Jerseyans some.
Where is the talk about actually lowering taxes in New Jersey?
Keep hearing Trenton Liberals about making things more affordable, but you keep overspending, so how exactly are you saving taxpayer dollars?
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just lit a fuse — calling for the complete elimination of PROPERTY TAXES nationwide.
“Homeowners are basically forced to pay rent to the government just to live on their own property. That’s wrong,” DeSantis said. “It’s time to fix it.”
Do you firmly Support this?
A. Huge yes
B. No
DECODED: The Fanone-Miller Deception | Exposing J6 Stolen Valor & Media Lies
They built their entire January 6th narrative on a foundation of lies, and we have the receipts.
For years, the mainstream media and the J6 Committee paraded Officer Michael Fanone as the ultimate martyr—claiming he was dragged into a "bloodthirsty" mob, repeatedly tased, beaten unconscious, and left suffering a heart attack. It was the perfect story to villainize American patriots.
But what if their perfect martyr is completely manufactured?
In this explosive deep dive, we decode the deception and break down the undeniable body cam evidence the media and the government desperately want to keep hidden.
Here is the TRUTH they won't show you:
🚨 The Identity Swap: We expose how the media deliberately conflated the body cam footage of Officer Fanone and Officer B.A. Miller to fabricate a far more violent narrative.
🚨 The Mask: Fanone testified under oath about his gas mask. Frame-by-frame analysis proves he wasn’t even wearing one—Miller was.
🚨 The "Violent" Mob Lie: Exclusive, ground-level footage from Tommy Tatum proves that instead of tearing him apart, protesters actively protected Fanone, shielding him and carrying him to safety.
🚨 The Medical Reality Check: Listen to the actual medic’s assessment in the immediate aftermath. ZERO mention of a taser. ZERO mention of a heart attack. ZERO severe injuries reported by the medical team on the ground.
🚨 The Hot Mic Evidence: While the media claimed he was fighting for his life, raw body cam audio caught Fanone laughing with fellow officers, joking about "stolen" equipment, and bragging about hurting protesters.
The media created a hero out of thin air to destroy the lives of innocent Americans. It’s time to expose the perjury, dismantle the narrative, and demand accountability.
Watch the footage. Share the truth. Stop the hate.

🚨Fake News Alert 🚨
Listen to the FULL clip for yourself.
I said it in the clip, and I'll say it again…
All of us in New Jersey had better start looking for an extra job because the Governor’s sanctuary state policies are going to bankrupt hard-working, legal citizens in favor of her hand-outs and protections for illegals.
That’s on top of the gas tax, rising tolls, and the fallout from bad energy policy.
Enough is enough.
I am 100% positive that when the New Jersey voter history/voter registration databases are cross referenced with three other databases (magic sauce) that hundreds of thousands of felonious registrations, and massive, systematic election fraud will be exposed.
No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.
You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.
Bro.
You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.
You live in a constitutional republic.
Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.
The modern left's definition of fascism:
You love your country? Fascist.
You want to enforce the border? Racist.
You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.
You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.
Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.
But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.
But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.
Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.
Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.
Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.
Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.
Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.
Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.
Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.
Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.
But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.
You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water.
The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.
No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.
Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.
During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.
But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.
The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.
Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.
That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.
Biden built a censorship machine.
Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."
They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...
Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.
And it doesn't stop at speech.
The extreme left justifies taking children from families.
Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.
The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.
Same playbook.
During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.
But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.
$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.
January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.
Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.
Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.
CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.
75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.
Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me."
Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.
One side talks. The other side screams.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday.
Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism.
The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud.
500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry.
The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent.
You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing.
"Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right.
Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over.
Today his own party would call him a fascist.
The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth.
The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote.
The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children.
Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026:
Censorship of political opposition. Democrats.
Contempt for democratic process. Democrats.
Tolerance of political violence. Democrats.
State ideology forced on families. Democrats.
Corporate-state fusion. Democrats.
Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides.
Cult of personality. Both sides.
Ultranationalism. Republicans.
Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared.
You marched against kings on Saturday.
You marched FOR kings.
You just didn't know which was which.
Stop being gaslit.
I hope you understand what's at stake.
The biggest gamble of your life? Social Security.
The system tells you to wait.
Take it at 62: $1,800/mo.
Wait till 70: $3,000/mo.
Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Run the math.
To actually profit from waiting, you have to live past 82.
The average US life expectancy? 79.
With the garbage in our food and the stress we carry today, making it to 82 is a massive bet.
Are you taking the money at 62 and running, or holding out for the bigger check?
