Monroe Mayor Dalina Testifies Before NJ Assembly Committee in Support of Speaker Coughlin’s “StayNJ” Bill
Bill Would Provide Property Tax Credit up to $10K to NJ Seniors
MONROE TOWNSHIP – June 9, 2023 – Monroe Township Mayor Stephen Dalina traveled to Trenton to testify before the NJ Assembly’s Aging and Senior Services Committee on Thursday, June 7 in support of Speaker Craig Coughlin’s “StayNJ” plan to give back 50% of local property tax bills up to $10,000 for New Jerseyans over age 65. If passed, the bill would take effect in January 2025.
During his testimony, Mayor Dalina said, “As mayor, and previously as a Township Council member, I focus my efforts on affordability, ensuring that all residents of my community can enjoy all that Monroe has to offer, now and for years to come. A substantial reduction in property taxes would help seniors, many of whom are on fixed incomes, stay near their family and friends here in New Jersey.”
Mayor Dalina added that the Bill would strengthen the Monroe Township community for generations to come. “It is why I am here today, voicing support for Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin’s initiative to effectively cut property taxes in half for most New Jersey senior citizens.”
