Local Current Priority

Restore Essential Revenue to Trenton, our State Capital

The Governor’s proposed budget cuts out $34M in payments from the State of New Jersey to Trenton, which are paid in lieu of taxes. A huge percentage of Trenton’s available land is occupied by State buildings and parking lots, which produce no tax revenue to pay for essential city services that are used by State buildings and employees. We cannot have a functioning Trenton if essential services are cut.

Call the Governor and your legislator to insist that the $34M in cuts to Trenton be restored.
