DEMOCRATS BALWIERCZAK & SEVER: ROLL BACK REPUBLICAN PROPERTY REASSESSMENTS NOW!
Del Russo & DeCicco “double down” on unnecessary tax hikes, Democrats on the side of NA homeowners!
NORTH ARLINGTON – Council candidates John Balwierczak and Cengiz “Jim” Sever will force a vote to end rolling and random tax reassessments supported by the incumbents Kirk Del Russo and Amanda DeCicco.
They will call for a vote on day one to end these senseless tax hikes.
“There is one issue in this council race on the minds of homeowners and that is these rolling reassessments that are inequitable and unfair. If we are elected our first motion will be to revert back to traditional and reasonable reassessment processes that will be conducted every five to seven years like 90% of the rest of New Jersey municipalities,” offered both Balwierczak and Sever.
“Why is North Arlington following a path that raises taxes on seniors? That makes North Arlington more expensive and less affordable. It needs to end and does not work.”
“Random Republican reassessments are an insult to homeowners who are being fleeced by constant reassessments and hired home inspectors seeking another reason to raise rates. These assessments are killing working families, longtime residents and especially seniors who want a tax break, not some silly water fountain that cost taxpayers nearly $250,000 to date,” said Balwierczak, a life-long resident and graduate of North Arlington High School.
The Democrats believe reverting back to the 5–7-year reassessment guidelines have strong community support.
“There is no reason to have rolling tax reassessments. It is a ploy to consistently increase property taxes that discourages home renovation and improvement. It has no logic and little credibility with taxpayers. This is the #1 issue with homeowners, and we plan to put homeowners first should we be successful come November 4th,” offered the candidates.
“Rolling Republican reassessments will continue unless Democrats are elected to the Borough Council. We need a diversity of ideas and a discussion, not this monologue and monopoly that reassessments are somehow a good idea when they lack any tangible support.”
