I think Texas (at the rate we are going it should be spelled Taxes) is number 2 and we are looking for caps as well. Either that or be taxed out of our houses.
The Massachusetts Teachers Association publishes a guide on how to rally voters to support exceeding the cap.

Welcome to ANOTHER state controlled by tax-crazy socialists.
"The New Jersey Education Association is fighting the proposed cap. It posted a warning to members on its Web site that "Tax caps will starve public schools!" and urged residents to complain to their lawmakers. "
LOL!
It's just less money to go in the pocket of crooks.
NJ schools are nothing to get excited about. They use kids to black mail parents into soaring property taxes. Kids aren't "smarter". They're not doing better on tests. The "tests" are just EASIER and teachers TEACH to those TESTS. When will parents WAKE UP!
Parents have complete control on how THEIR kids do. It requires PARENTS to get involved with their kids!
"Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts Jr. said lawmakers are aware of concerns but noted a recent poll that found most residents support the 4 percent cap. "
That's RIGHT!
Most people are sick and tired of this black mail.
They see through this for what it is ... a waste of their money.
Just think... with all the money the New Jersey taxpayers will be saving, they can send their kids to a decent private school and get an even better education.

Awwwww!!!
Socialists want more tax money. This isn't news, it's just what liberals do.
Let them lay off a few patronage positions and cut some pork first. Like that would ever happen.
By comparison, the tax cap in California is 1% of the assessed value with an inflation adjustment maximum of 2%. Example: You buy your house for $150,000 x 1% or $1,500. Next year inflation is 3% so your taxes go up 2% of $1,500 or $30 - generally with no reassessment as long as you own your home.

A "google" of Sarah Maris indicates she was president-elect of the Fairhaven PTA in late 2005. I wonder why the article didn't point up that background?
They are kinda like that perverbial camel, aren't they?
It's always nice when we can get others to furnish the funds for our own priorities. Perhaps Maris should look into a private school for her child and stop insisting that others pay for her child's education.
Giving schools more money is just throwing good money after bad. Teachers do a poor job. Administrators waste money. And our children receive a lousy education.
So cough up even more money.
Somehow I don't think Ms. Maris' kids are going to be reduced to attending a one room school anytime soon. Fair Haven is a rich little town. The family income there is $109,760.00. The average family income for the entire United States is $65,093.00
Where did you get those numbers? I want to see how my town is doing.
Just google "average family income [your town your state]"
