He’s upset that wealthy corporations aren’t paying their fair share and residents are being forced to pick up the tab. He’s running for an elected position in his township to combat this and appears consistent on his message.
Did you know that in recent years the Township Committee under both political parties has awarded over $150 million in 30-year tax exemptions to billionaire developers at 750 Walnut and Birchwood?
We residents have to pay for this on their behalf. It’s a few thousand dollars every year in extra taxes per household. In return, we receive little besides increased traffic, flooding, overcrowded schools, and overburdened infrastructure.
Also, he isn’t campaigning against funding the education system. Again, he just wants developers to chip in too.
Indeed the $55 million we voted to pay for our beloved schools in the January referendum was necessary precisely because the developers are contributing nothing to our educational system. I want to be elected to stop the resident-funded overdevelopment of Cranford.
This article cherry-picked some of his words, but ultimately he is against wealthy corporations not paying their fair share through tax exeption deals. He is not against funding public education. But of course, take the corporation-backed mainstream-media message at face value and hope he gets bullied away. Then the current township leaders can continue handouts to big corporations, while increasing taxes on the residents.
