Middletown, NJ: Committeeman Sean Byrnes
Monmouth County, NJ – The Middletown Township Committee held a hearing Monday on the proposed municipal budget for 2010. The proposed budget calls for almost a 14% increase in the municipal portion of the tax levy in Middletown according to Committeeman Sean Byrnes. "Despite the fact that the current financial downturn started in 2008, the Township Committee has taken no dramatic steps to offset a tide of revenue reductions and expense escalations that will now produce a spike in the tax levy imposed upon Middletown residents," said Byrnes. "Monday's meeting will be the first public meeting dedicated to the 2010 budget, even though Middletown is now 7 months into its 2010 budget year. This budget will not be approved until mid-August, since there is a waiver application to the Local Finance Board on the Township's tax levy cap that must be approved before the budget can be approved."

"To appreciate the degree to which Middletown has ignored this crisis, it is worth studying what happened in 2009 and what Middletown's elected officials knew in 2009," according to a press release issued by Byrnes.
