Since 2015 Betty Ann Fort has been mayor or deputy mayor for Readington Township. During that time Readington has gone backwards:
1) The municipal budget has increased 11%
2) The tax burden born by residents has increased 18% while commercial taxes have remained flat
3) Even our farmers are paying 7% more in taxes to support the growing municipal budget
And for what? The budget line that has grown the most is debt service. Since 2015 the amount of our taxes that go just to service growing municipal debt has increased by 31%! Debt service now 26% of the entire municipal budget.
ACT for change on November 5th. Vote for me and I pledge to increase Accountability, improve our Community connections and bring a higher level of Transparency to our township decision making.
