Five years ago, back in 2010, Gov.
Christie won a political battle,
enacting a 2 percent cap on mu-
nicipal tax levies. The law limited
property-taxing budget increases to a
maximum of 2 percent –with some ex-
ceptions – down from 4 percent, lest
they be subject to public vote.While some argued at the time
whether the cap would work, or
whether it was another political ploy,
the data says it has had a positive ef-
fect.
Since the cap was enacted, property
taxes rose 2.4 percent on average in
2011, 1.6 percent in 2012, 1.3 percent in
2013 and 2.2 percent in 2014. From 2004
to 2006, property taxes increased at
least 7 percent each year.
That’s data we can stand behind, but
now, five years after the cap’s enaction,
more needs to be done. It’s not simply
good enough that property tax increas-
es have leveled off; we need to find a
way to reduce the property tax burdenon our residents.
While the increase last year was
only 2.2 percent, New Jersey’s average
property tax bill rose to the highest its
ever been – to $8,161 on average, ac-
cording to Department of Community
Affairs data. The average property tax-
payer paid an additional $173 in prop-
erty taxes last year, up from an average
total of $7,988 in 2013.
Here’s some more ugly data...
• Only 0.2 percent of homeowners in
the U.S. paid more than $8,000 last year
in property taxes – which is lower
than our state average.
• New Jersey collects $3,000 per capi-
ta in property taxes. Seventy-nine per-
cent of American homeowners paid
less than $1,750 last year, and only 3
percent paid more than $4,000.
Christie’s property-tax cap was
never going to fix the problem of New
Jersey’s high property taxes; it wasn’t
designed to do so. It has helped keeplocal taxing entities in check, but that’s
only a start.
Step 2 of property tax reform should
be initiatives to lower property taxes.
Some of these are in place, such as in-
centives to bring new business to the
state’s barren wastelands such as
Trenton and Camden.
But that is not enough. We need to
bring more business and more jobs to
this state, more ratables for our towns
and school districts to offset the taxes
these entities need to operate. Taxes
aren’t going up too much, and that’s
good, but now they need to start going
down.
in our opinion
Christie’s tax cap is workingBut now it’s time to move to the next phase – reducing property taxes

Is Gov. Christie’s property tax reformworking? Or is it all just political smoke-and-mirrors? Let your voice be heardthrough a letter to the editor.

By SEAN LAJOIEThe Sun
On April 7, a packed MedfordTownship Public Safety Buildingplayed host to a heated meetingthat took more than three hoursto voice everyone’s feelings.
Two topics that have been hotas of late took the main stage and
had many residents up in arms.The township is looking to pur-chase the Park View Cemetery,which consists of two locations,one in historic Medford Villageand the other in the Kirby’s Milllocation.
The original purchase pricewill be $10.88 million and the tar-geted closing date is Dec. 30.
The anticipated revenue
stream is more than $80 millionover 50 years, after payment of allexpenses, maintenance, debtservice and trust fund contribu-tions.
These projections were basedon revenue reported by otherNew Jersey cemeteries on theirtax returns that were approved bythe State Cemetery Board in
March 2010.However, the majority of thepublic who voiced their opinionat last week’s meeting were skep-tical about these projections andtherefore very uncertain it wouldbe beneficial to the town’s fi-nances.
“These projections are totallyunrealistic. In fact, BurlingtonCounty is losing population. It de-
creased about a half percent lastyear,” Marlene Leiber said.
Residents were concernedthese numbers will be skeweddown the road due to the increas-ing number of people leaving thearea and, in turn, the decreasingnumber of people who will beusing the cemetery.
Mike Panarello felt strongly for
a referendum on the topic, asmost at the meeting did. He saidhe does not find it fair that coun-cil is essentially asking residentsto trust blind faith when makinga purchase of this magnitudeafter the meetings between thepurchasing agents were redacted.
“I don’t feel this issue is appro-

priate for referendum. I don’tthink that every issue should beup for referendum because wehave a representative form of government,” Councilman Chris
Buoni said.Buoni is confident about the fu-ture of this particular project andunderstands any potentially neg-ative fallout will be reflected inthe next election.
“This is not going to negativelyaffect that budget. It’s going to en-hance it. It’s not fair to still saythat we have a debt problem today.It’s currently at $28 million afterstarting at $45 million three yearsago, and by the time we leave of-fice, it is going to be minimal. I
guarantee that,” Buoni said.Some residents were also not
happy with the previous meetingheld concerning the cemeterypurchase at which Deputy MayorJeff Beenstock gave a presenta-tion regarding the details.
“The appraisal report is a lotmore detailed than the basicspreadsheet that was given out atthe presentation a couple weeksago. Nothing is based on hardvalue or market value, it is basedon this projected revenue,”Charles Deal said.
However, not all residents in at-tendance had entirely negativethings to say in the public com-ment session.
“I appreciate the efforts to tryto generate additional revenueinto the township,” Jim Dixonsaid.
“It doesn’t sound bad, but itsounds like we need more timefor it,” John Check said.
While fielding questions and
keeping order, Mayor Chuck Wat-son wanted to be clear that theyare not substituting this projectfor other things that need to beaddressed.
“We need to bring police back,
fix our parks and get more publicworks people as well. We are notdoing this instead of that; that’sthe reason we are doing this. Wehave to think outside of the box toget some income to do thesethings – $80 million over 50 yearsis what we’re looking at, and weunderstand that’s if the projec-tions hold true,” Watson said.
Another discussion topic thatreceived a lot of feedback was thedraft ordinance on deer fencing.
The issue of deer fencing wasoriginally brought before councilin May 2014 after residents com-plained about the lack of clearregulations for it. The originalquestion was whether deer fenc-ing would be defined and regulat-ed as any other fence in the town-ship. The topic was brought to thetownship’s attention in the past,but no action had been taken.
Under the draft ordinance,deer fencing would be permittedin wooded areas. It can be up toeight feet high in back yards andup to six feet high in front yards.
Megan Knowlton Balne, an at-torney from the law firm of Hy-land Levin, represented CharleneSmith and Dr. Paul Roth Garrettat the meeting.
Garrett is a professor of publichealth at Drexel and a physicianwho is concerned about the pub-lic health issues. He has had adeer fence that has been theresince the ‘90s.
Balne has told him he can get anonconforming use variance tosay it was legal when it was in-stalled and now it is not, furtherenabling him to go to a zoningboard to let it stand.
“I was not at the meeting to beself-serving. The town is essen-tially drafting an ordinance tomake it almost impossible to havean effective deer fence,” Garrett
said. “The law makes residentsrun the deer fence parallel totheir driveway. In this case, deerwill go to the front door, and when

you drive your car up, you willtrap them, and a trapped deer isnot a good thing.”
Garrett testified regarding hisconcerns about the public andprivate health risks. The publicrisks deal with the deer beingcaused to charge at a resident andthe private risks deal with resi-dents being in jeopardy of LymeDisease.
The height of the fence restric-tion was argued by a few through-out the public comment session.
“There is a six-foot height re-striction, and it is well knownthat deer can jump over six feet,”Marathon Engineering Environ-mental Scientist Donald Bricknersaid.
“Aesthetically, it will look a lotnicer at six feet; no one wants tosee eight-foot fences,” Bob Elmersaid. “For 50 years, we’ve had thesame fence ordinances. Peoplehave driven through our commu-nity without having to look ateight-foot fences or gates.”
The deer fence ordinance waspassed by a two-thirds majority
vote in the end.

“I’m very proud of what we ac-complished in only about fiveyears. We produced two or threealbums and even covered thesoundtrack to the MegaMan 3video game,” Stokking said.
Stokking has been driven bymusic his entire life and has re-cently decided to chase his dreamand move out west.
He packed his bags and movedto Los Angeles where he would beliving with an old friend, RickyRyba.
In search of a fresh start wherethere was much more opportuni-ty, Stokking was motivated to takehis music to the next level.
Seven months later, after look-ing back on his decision, he is
very pleased with the success hehas found.
“I got much more than I bar-gained for. I was serious about the
move and all, but the projects thatI have created and the people thatI have met have definitely been ablessing,” Stokking said.
Stokking teamed with hisfriend Ryba who originally start-ed as an actor. They both sharedsimilar passions for bands suchas Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrdand ZZ Top.
Shortly after, Stokking wasplaying his acoustic guitar out-side one day and was heard by theright man. A representative fromIheart radio who was looking forsomeone in Stokking’s situationapproached him with some op-portunities.
A gig at the House Of Blues iswhere the band name “RebelSouls” was created. Before get-ting on stage, they were throwingtogether some creative ideas onpaper and the idea for the nametook off from a three-letter
acronym Stokking had jotteddown.
Being born and raised in Med-ford, Stokking knew he wouldface some challenges out west, es-pecially with the amount of com-petition in his line of work.
“I knew the amount of compe-tition would provide some obsta-cles, but the biggest challenge I
have found is constantly beingfaced with the question of, is thisfor passion or for business?”Stokking said. “I’ve learned thatit has to be a good balance of both, and you need to know whento tap into each side.”
Unfortunately, Stokking has re-cently returned home for a bitdue to his father’s memorial serv-
ice. He passed away early morn-ing Dec. 14. While home, he per-formed at Ott’s in Medford onApril 10.
Before he moved, he booked agig at Ott’s to collect non perish-ables for the homeless, and itended up being very successful,so he was able to book another gigthere when he contacted themabout returning home.
“It has kind of turned intohome base for me over the yearswhen I return to Medford,”Stokking said.
As far as the future goes,Stokking will return to Los Ange-les to chase his dream and makemusic. A specific dream he has al-ways fantasized about is perform-ing, headlining and hosting a fes-tival in a castle and giving theproceeds to charity.
“The stone walls would makethe acoustics sound epic, and I’vealways dreamed about giving ourearnings to hungry or thirstykids. I just want to give,”Stokking said.
