HEY.. DIDNT OBAMA SAY IT WAS BELOW $250,000 A YR? THEN IT WAS $200? NOW $150K?

Guess what people?? It's even much lower than $150K - Obama and Joey are lying thru their teeth. It's as low as $42,000 a year that'll see a tax increase.

IT ADDS UP TO TROUBLE: Joe Biden, campaigning yesterday, spelled out his ideas on who should benefit from a tax cut - appearing to break with Barack Obama, who has said he'll cut taxes on all who earn less than $200,000.

Gaffe-prone Joe Biden put his foot in his mouth again yesterday, mistakenly excluding millions of Americans from his running mate's tax-cut proposal.

The Delaware senator's latest blunder came while discussing Republican tax policies during a television interview in his hometown of Scranton, Pa.

EDITORIAL: Fair Warning

"What we're saying is, that $87 billion tax break doesn't need to go to people making an average of $1.4 million," Biden said.

"It should go to middle-class people, people who make $150,000 a year."

Brick: Officials want to postpone property revaluations

Township officials will ask the Ocean County Board of Taxation for permission to postpone its ongoing revaluation for another year in light of the deteriorating housing market, Mayor Stephen C. Acropolis said today.Acropolis said assessing homes while prices are falling would be unfair to Brick residents, and could also cost the township money. If prices fall below a home's assessment, the mayor said residents could successfully appeal their revaluations.

"If you do put a value on the houses in November of this year, in '08, when everyone gets their tax bill in '09, they're going to say, "I can't pay this much money. I'm going to appeal it,'' Acropolis said.

The mayor said the township would formally ask to postone the revaluation by letter this week.

Manchester and Toms River have had similar requests granted this year, according to county board officials.

Brick parents, officials heading to Trenton to protest school funding formula

BRICK — Instead of criticizing the state's school funding formula at public meetings in town, people are taking the fight to the legislators.School officials and parents will be bused to Trenton March 13 to protest the formula they say caused a $3.5 million gap in the district's budget.

"The formula doesn't work,'' said parent Geoff Dubrowsky, who is attending the rally. "The formula Gov. Corzine created works for the people who got him elected,'' he said, including Camden and Newark.

The state funds special education, but only up to 14 percent of the student body. Brick has 18 percent of its student population as special education. The other 4 percent go unfunded.

"The state is telling you, "You can't be disabled,'‚'' said Dubrowsky, whose 12-year-old, Daniel, is autistic.

The current plan to address the gap is to close and then sell the Laurelton School and close the Primary Learning Center. CONTINUE READING HERE
