Congratulations, New Jersey, on yet your latest accomplishment. It always seems that we manage to land toward the top of the lists we’d rather not be on.
Take property taxes, for example. The taxes in the Garden State are sky high and not showing signs of dropping. Yes, maybe some towns do manage to lower property taxes on some years, but by and large the state as a whole is trending the wrong direction in this category.
Another list we’re toward the top of? Our gas tax. What’s sad about this one is that we used to be at the bottom as having the lowest gas tax in America. Not anymore…
