Government Reform Thoughts

County Manager George Devanney has released his $415-million executive budget, which calls for a tax levy of $268 million, nearly $40 million over last year’s adopted spending plan by the freeholders. We question such a huge hit in taxes and encourage the freeholders’ finance committee to hold budget meetings outside of their Elizabeth confines over the next month and allow for public comments. - See year-to-date reform thoughts.
