In the past 31 years of Republican control in Middletown, NOT ONE Democrat ever voted for a tax increase, not one! Every municipal tax increase has been a Republican tax increase, 22.2% during the past 3 years, over 42% during the past 8 years.

Election Day 2011
When you head out to the polls today in Middletown the only thing you should be worried about is shown below. If you want more of the same then vote for Fiore and Murray. If you want people that will be sitting on the Township Committee that will be thinking of you first before themselves you need to vote for Grenafege and Fowler.

"42% during the past 8 years" is incorrect. Municipal taxes have gone up 46% since 2005, and that's just 6 years.
Yes you're correct. I wanted to see who was paying attention.
My taxes have not gone up nearly that much, how are you calculating that???
But if thats true, then how is Middletown the only town listed in the best 100 places to live???
I suspect you will all be moving to other towns with less taxes in the near future RIGHT???
Yesterday a deer crashed through the doors of the Monmouth Mall and tonight some pigs and snakes crashed through the doors of The Lincroft Inn. The deer, however, was said to have done much less damage.
There are 99 other towns in the best places to live on Money Magazine's list. You did not mention Middletown's decline in the rankings over these last years.
The declining quality of life in this community because of sick politics will ultimately remove it from consideration!
Anonymous 12:33 a.m., you are right!

Did you see the word Municipal? County and School tax increases temper the overall, but the Town Committee is responsible only for the municipal piece. We should judge them on that, not on the whole pie.
Because there was a reval a couple years back that lowered the tax rate, you can't determine the Municipal increase since 2005 by just dividing this year's tax rate by that for 2005. You have to divide the total amount collected through municipal taxes this year by the total amount collected by municipal taxes in 2005. The result is indeed 46%.
Sad.
We don't judge them on the whole pie , only their slice,and they do a piss poor job of managing even that. God help us if they could control the other "slices" !
