CAPE MAY – Cape May City Council established a Municipal Taxation and Revenue Study Committee March 3.
The committee will review council’s budgeting and revenue-raising practices.
The idea for the study group arose from a presentation Dec. 3 by Dennis Crowley, who was representing the Taxpayers’ Association.
In a presentation consisting of over 60 PowerPoint slides, Crowley argued that costs associated with the city’s tourist-based economy fall on the residential property taxpayer by default, without appropriate consideration of other revenue alternatives.
Crowley explained that a cost-center approach to budgeting might help alleviate what he called an escalating burden on the residential property owner.
Changes were made to the resolution up to a late vote at the end of the March 3 City Council Meeting.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
