To the editor: As a member of Morris County’s Budget Subcommittee in 2011 and chair through 2012, I felt great satisfaction that Morris County was recognized in 2013 for being the only county in the state to achieve a decrease in taxes at a rate of .8 percent in 2012. We are now in a position to work at crafting a 2013 budget with a zero percent tax increase. Having been on the budget subcommittee when Gov.

A team of allied Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education members spoke out today regarding the $1.25 million in additional state aid coming to the school district announced Tuesday. Board members Michael Strumolo, Susy Golderer, Gary Martin and Sharif Shamsudin came together today to send a message: They demand that the money be returned to taxpayers immediately. School Superintendent LeRoy Seitz talked about the additional funding at the Thursday night Board of Education meeting. At the gathering, he noted that members had three options for dealing with the money: spending it on district-related purchases, carrying it over for property tax relief in the next two years or giving it back to ratepayers now. In order for the latter option, …
