Once again the Morristown town council is once again trying to give Mayor Donald Cresitello a pay raise.  The council has started a new petition in which 5 percent of Morristown's registered voters needed to sign the petition in order for the question to be placed on the ballot.

Many feel that the $6000 a year pay increase for a part-time mayor in a town which claims to be cash strapped is out of line.  $6000 would amount to a 23% pay increase as compared to the Morristown public employees who have been getting 3% raises each year.

Much of Morristown's budget comes from property taxes which are trending to be about 40% higher than surrounding Morris Township property taxes.  The pay raise being sought for the Morristown Mayor is important because once it…

Morris Township Officials are trying to do a online petition to get the State of New Jersey to enact new laws to allow Morris Township to install remote camaras and issue speeding tickets based on those camaras.

"As your constituents, we are respectfully asking your help to deal with a significant impairment of our 'Quality of Life' in the Garden State -- excessive speeding on our roads," the petition reads. "We urge you to introduce and enact legislation that would permit local law enforcement agencies to use photo-radar equipment to identify speeders and issue summonses that can be enforced."

This seems to be more of a intrusion of our lives.  What is to prevent local towns from monitoring and tracking the public's movements.  Can't the township…

The new proposed rules would lower the number of market-rate homes that could be built for every affordable housing unit from 9 market rate homes per 1 affordable housing unit to just 5 market rate homes.  The rules also would require a municipality to build an affordable housing unit for every 16 jobs that are created down from every 25 new jobs added to a community.

What does this all mean for Morris County and for New Jersey as a whole?  It means, higher taxes, fewer jobs, companies looking to leave New Jersey. 

There has to…

National News means nothing for Madison NJ Real Estate Market!!

Housing construction fell in November and single-family activity dropped to the lowest level in more than 16 years as a severe housing slump showed no signs of a turnaround.  This is how the headline from the national news reporter Martin Crutsinger, AP Economics.  Never mind that better than 50% of his results are coming from California, Florida, Arizona & one or two other South Western states.

Madison New Jerseys housing market seems to have flattened out now after declining in the spring and early summer.  The only real price reductions we are continuing to see are from home sellers who over priced their homes to start with. 

What does this mean for Madison New Jersey home sellers? …
