More than 10,000 people and counting have signed the Asbury Park Press petition fighting back
against New Jerseys highest-in-the-nation property taxes. But there are scant signs from Gov.
Chris Christie and other political leaders that reforms are on the way. h The petition asks Christie,
Senate President Stephen Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto for a property tax cut.
Property taxes statewide rise $540 million every year, even with a 2 percent cap in place, and polls
show its been the top issue in the Garden State for nine years.h Christie could call a special session
on property taxes, but he hasnt, and lawmakers arent rushing to the Statehouse on their own to
act. The Senate and Assembly have two work days apiece scheduled for November.
