Dan, Re: your comment:
I don't think that's how it works. It is not like there is $1 divided amoong the schools, the city and the county. The school tax is independent. If the state funding of the schools is less the total tax goes up. The city's share is independent and not affected by the school tax. I'm trying to understand all this myself now. I found the breakdown for AP's taxes here: County, School, Municipal, each in turn broken down further. _http://tax.co.monmouth.nj.us/pdf/Tr06.pdf_ (http://tax.co.monmouth.nj.us/pdf/Tr06.pdf) I've also been checking out these: 1. Seems like AP is way up there. Maybe because of all the bogus tax-exempt "churches"; maybe because all the social services other towns don't or won't offer: _Freehold Township : Comparison of Municipal Tax Rates_ (http://www.twp.freehold.nj.us/e-government/financials/comp_mun_rates.asp) 2. Wondering how the two columns here, general vs. effective rates, are calculated: _http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/lpt/gtr06mon.pdf_ (http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/lpt/gtr06mon.pdf) ========Original Message======== Subj: [AsburyPark] Re: NJ School Districts: Tools for Discussing and Comparing Date: 3/23/2007 5:23:39 P.M.

By the school getting Abbott money the city now has a more larger piece of the pie........ I don't think that's how it works.
