Online sales-tax bill is introduced |
|
A sales-tax exemption measure designed to encourage major online retailers to locate in New Jersey has been introduced in the Legislature.The bill would help alleviate disparities between online retailers, who are not required to collect New Jersey's 7 percent sales tax unless they have a physical presence in the state, and bricks-and-mortar stores, according to Democrats. Amazon.com, the world's biggest online retailer, is in talks to bring two warehouses to New Jersey in exchange for a delay in charging its Garden State customers sales tax. The deal could bring 1,500 full-time jobs to a state where unemployment has hovered around 9 percent. The legislation specifies that the jobs must go to New Jersey residents. http://bit.ly/zgrgGE |

A blue oasis in a sea of red and yellow |
|
 High property taxes consistently rank as one of NJ voters' biggest concerns. This color coded, interactive map shows property tax changes from 2009-2011 during the first two years of Gov. Chris Christie’s tenure. Data includes the total tax levy, total tax rate, average home value, property tax bill on that average residence, average property tax rebate and the net average property tax bill when adjusted for that rebate. The two-year change is calculated for each from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs’ property tax spreadsheets.
Despite the economic times, large reductions in state aid and sharp reductions in direct property tax relief Merchantville responded to and met those municipal challenges during the past two years. Cuts in rebates have left the mean average household paying $1,275 more than when Gov. Corzine left office. http://bit.ly/yRJrEd

Bishops decry Obama birth control plan, yet Catholic hospitals report sterilizations |
|
U.S. Catholic bishops have vowed to fight the Obama administration's compromise on insurance coverage for contraception and sterilization, yet there is evidence the sterilization services the bishops oppose have been provided by many Catholic hospitals across the country. Between 2007 and 2009, more than 20,000 women who gave birth at Catholic hospitals in New Jersey and six other states had their "tubes tied." Eighty-five hospitals, almost half of those providing obstetric services, were doing sterilizations to end fertility. http://bit.ly/zNzoSA |
