Cut overinflated administrator salaries. Switch to a school voucher system. Rather than put the burden on property owners, perhaps school funding should be switched to so that everyone in the city contributes via income tax. Why do we even have a county levy and a municipal levy. There should be consolidation. There are a lot of things that can be done. The overall school budget increased compared to last year and not all of that was due to state cuts. It’s not just about me, it’s about the retiree who spent their life in Jersey City and now has to move because they can no longer afford it. It’s about the single working class mom struggling to make ends meet and now has to pay more money in property taxes. People just need to make the same effort in getting change that they spend trying to get certain politicians fired because of a traffic accident where they showed wanton disregard for human life. Arguably, the school levy affects their lives more.
