I guess that's 3% below the NJ state average. Wow - Asbury is catching up quick by that standard.

Subject: [AsburyPark] Re: Abbot Funding cuts....
The town I grew up in, Vineland, is one of the districts slated to
lose Abbott funding. Here's an article in the local paper & a quote:
http://thedailyjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?
AID=/20050513/NEWS01/505130306/1002
"The criteria for Abbott designation that may be changed, according
to the OLS report, include:
<snip>
The district must have, per capita, property values of at least 3
percent below the state average."
My guess is this is the rationale behind removing Long Branch.
It's funny to read the article and the scramble that these 13 towns
are making to either change the rules or make themselves claim
poverty. I mean, c'mon: Jersey City & Hoboken are Abbott districts?!?
