All About Property Taxes

As the Gubernatorial race in New Jersey heats up, the issue championed by Republicans during the primary is starting to be used against the GOP as the campaign websight of Senator Jon Corzine, the Democratic nominee, points to the fact that throughout the last 20 years, property taxes have increased an average of 7% under Republican leadership and 6% when there's a Democrat in Trenton.
While this percentage is almost token, considering the time span that's being discussed, the rhetoric is an important step for Democrats who will first need to combat the "high tax and high waste" image that's been associated with the administration of ex-Governor Jim McGreevy if they expect to see Corzine in office.
