Dear PS16 Parents,
If you are planning to attend tonight’s City Council meeting about the Payroll Tax, that will take place at 6PM at City Hall, please find some helpful instructions and background information below.
For those coming with kids tonight (from Brigid D’Souza on Facebook):
Below is the background information about the Payroll Tax, and the dialogue around it – compiled by https://jerseycityed.com/
Jersey City Council Meeting – Tuesday, November 20, 2018 – Payroll
Tonight at the Jersey City Council meeting, the Payroll Tax proposal is on the agenda and open to public comment. There is no doubt that there will be both strong support and opposition to this new proposed tax on all private employers’ payrolls of non-Jersey City residents (the tax is not levied on individual employee’s wages). The tax revenues are intended to support the budget gap that Jersey City Public Schools face as the State of New Jersey begins to withdraw the funding that has long supported the city’s public schools.
For more information, check out the following links:
Mayor Steven Fulop has expressed his support on social media, saying:
We hope you will be able to join us for our first official montly meeting tonight, in the auditorium, at 6pm.
