Don't move here - try Mount Olive where your tax dollars are better spent instead of a new town hall, new police station and new fire headquarters. Traffic to Parsippany will take over an hour to get 16 miles. Bumper to bumper on route 15 on the monday morning, however you see no traffic on route 15 on a Sunday when looking at the houses for sale. Roads date from the 1920's and you will be paying for the new $71 million school that is a facelift netting about 4 new classrooms. When we built the $44 million middle school a few years ago, 130 kids had to return to the 1957 building for overcrowding. Imagine being promised by a realtor that your kids would be attending a new school, then find them back at the 1957 Mohawk Ave School. I have been here 30 years, we had 3 major supermarkets in town, now only one. Who says we're doing well??? I belong to the Democratic club and Republican clubs so I don't know where those numbers came from. We have trouble getting people to pay eight dollars for an all you can eat breakfast fund raiser at the Elks on the boardwalk. Family income over $100,000 -- I don't think so. Most people live in the expensive homes because they have traded up and ridden the equity balloon and now pay $15,000 in taxes. More traffic coming from the Mulvahill resort/ 300 houses on Newton Sparta Road will delay the commute even further to Parsippany. Town council took away the health department. They can not even find a business school administrator to live in the district on $100,000 salary when the average sale of 40 year old hoouse is $350,000. Townhouses start at $350,000 with $1,500 a month in maintenance.
