To the Editor:
Next year Barnegat will see the smallest municipal tax increase in five years, only $23.29 more for an average-priced house, less than a $2-a-month increase. That includes the large increase in trash and recycling cost, a new town hall, employee pay increases and additional first aid service.
Barnegat is only $164 a year more in property taxes than Stafford, but with Stafford’s higher water fees (about $230 a quarter vs. $157 for our town), Barnegat is a better buy.
