Milltown Leaders Strive to Keep Our Taxes Low
August 20, 2008

Congratulations to Milltown Mayor Gloria Bradford and the entire Milltown Borough Council. They generated $119,000 for taxpayers by auctioning off a small parcel of property (approximately 0.2 acres) that was a nonperforming asset of the borough. Instead of maintaining this parcel, the borough will now be collecting taxes on it. The capital raised will help offset potential increases in property taxes.

In these very difficult times, with all of the cuts in state aid for smaller towns, and state-mandated increases in costs, this money will represent a tax savings of 2 cents per $100 of assessed property value. This is obviously only a small part of their overall plan to keep property taxes low, but I like it. I applaud the officials that worked so diligently on finding an unconventional way to provide tax relief to those who need it. It will be greatly appreciated by everyone who owns a home in Milltown.

It's refreshing to hear something so positive about local government these days, and I'm glad we have such competent officials serving our community.
