    Why all this fuss over another ~$10/mo, and no mention of the continuing $4-5 thousand/yr of the cruel, regressive, confiscatory school property tax on this same middle class.
    Makes the Rebates necessary and many ‘so grateful’ to NJ gov.

    Why these minor distractions? Can’t fight the big issues?
