Law repeals maximum tax on railroads in New Jersey
In Trenton on March 19 the Hillery maximum tax rate of 1.75 for municipalities was repealed. Elizabeth will drop from 2.91 to 1.46, as Republican leader Martin Attecke touted the measure to remove the railroad tax advantage. Democratic leaders criticized the move, arguing it would burden Jersey City and other cities, while Assemblyman Moxon defended the repeal as beneficial in Union County. The measure passed 30 to 7, with widespread support across southern and northern towns, and governors urged action to ensure full repeal.
