Prioritizing the Needs of the 11th Legislative District
By Assemblywomen Kim Eulner and Marilyn Piperno
As your 11th Legislative District representatives, we are committed to prioritizing the needs of our constituents. Unfortunately, that’s why we were forced to oppose this year’s state budget in several key areas.
First and foremost, our schools are in desperate need of more funding. Fully funded schools benefit our students and contribute to the development of our entire community. However, this budget fails to provide the necessary resources to support our schools adequately.
Additionally, property taxes continue to burden our constituents and make homeownership unaffordable for many. Unfortunately, this budget does not offer significant tax relief, leaving our citizens struggling to make ends meet.
Furthermore, millions of dollars have been taken from municipal property tax offset programs, adding more financial burden to our towns and hampering their ability to provide essential services.
On top of these concerns, the misuse of taxpayer money is a serious issue. The governor’s spending spree on unnecessary projects is 50 percent higher than during the previous administration. Secret projects, such as a municipal marina, a dominoes club, a jazz radio station, a French art museum, and cultural projects, lack transparency and leave taxpayers in the dark about how their money is being used
Our constituents deserve a budget that prioritizes their well-being and addresses the pressing needs of our communities. We will use our office to fight for increased education funding, effective property tax relief, and a more transparent and accountable budgeting process
