Back in May, I wrote about two New Jersey towns that pushed back against their own governments and actually won. Diamond Beach got its paid parking ordinance repealed after residents showed up week after week. It's the mistake Hillsborough residents are trying to get ahead of this time, by showing up during the budget conversation instead of after the bill arrives. "Good for Hillsborough, taxes are too high and it's ridiculous and outrageous, taxpayers need to rally and fight back," one person wrote. Stay NJ, ANCHOR, Senior Freeze, all well-intentioned, all still asking residents to pay the highest property taxes in the country first and then apply for permission to get some of it back.
