On February 8, 2016, James Stuart and Cliff Moore of the Monmouth County Tax Board made an approximately two hour presentation to the SLH Borough Council on the County’s Assessment Demonstration Program. During this meeting, they explained what they felt were the benefits of the program and asked that the Council not opt out.The Borough has until May 31 to make this decision.
Mr. Stuart emphatically noted the program was “not about reform” and wondered aloud where people had gotten this idea. Perhaps he should review his Board’s public relations talking points more closely: Tax Board director Matt Clark has given several interviews during which he explained that the program “represents true tax reform.”
