Fighting to ensure fiscal responsibility in Hoboken government and the fair allocation of property taxes among all property owners.

SIGN THE PETITION: UPCOMING MUNICIPAL CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS!

While many residents of Hoboken who work in the private sector are losing their jobs, taking pay cuts or, at best, experiencing salary freezes, labor agreements being negotiated with Hoboken municipal workers reflect very generous salary increases and benefit packages that will further drive up our taxes. Learn more and sign the petition.
