NJ Senate Considers Water Tax
|
TRENTON, NJ (AP) -- Do New Jerseyans want to tax their water to preserve open spaces?
A Senate committee will consider the question today as it reviews a proposed constitutional amendment.
The tax would charge 40 cents per 1,000 gallons of water used. Supporters say that would cost the average household about $32 per year.
Some $150 million would be dedicated annually to farmland and open space preservation.
Voters would decide whether to approve the amendment during the November election if three-fifths of both legislative houses pass it.
Voters in November approved borrowing $200 million for farmland and open space preservation, but that money is set to run out in
2010. |
