I'm fed up in Middletown. How much more does the Township Committee majority think we homeowners can take?
Mayor Gerard P. Scharfenberger, the "tax man," went to Trenton to get dispensation for his unconscionable increase in taxes.
The state has a 4 percent cap on tax increases, but thanks to his connections in Trenton, he was allowed to increase them more than 12 percent.
Scharfenberger would like us to believe the increase is only 2.8 percent. This is a smokescreen that lets him hide behind the actual increase. Don't be fooled.
It's time to retire the tax man with your vote for Sean Byrnes and Mary Mahoney, who better understand the pressures on Middletown homeowners.
Byrnes is the only serious financial voice on the Township Committee. He voted down this unprecedented increase in taxes because he felt the township could have done a better job in planning this year's budget.
