For the second consecutive year, Mayor Mike Halfacre and the Fair Haven council have introduced a budget that cuts spending and cuts taxes.
They avoided Trenton style gimmickry, budgeting their full pension payments. They created efficiencies in engineering, public works, and attorneys fees. They are enjoying revenue from a new cell phone tower. Trenton cut their state funding (it is not aid, it is funding)by 4%.
It can be done.
Congratulations to the citizens of Fair Haven and their governing body.

Any chance that Mayor Mike could come and give a seminar to the powers here in Colts Neck who continue to increase our taxes with absolutely no municipal services to speak of? Maybe he could give them pointers on ethics as well since they reward their former colleagues with huge paychecks for doing nothing. (Hennessy as Rec Director). Or maybe he could show them the wisdom of not paying $20,000 for a holiday party at the Shadowbrook in Shrewsbury, while our taxes are going up every year. Even I would vote for Mayor Mike if he moved into town.
Congratulations Mayor Mike, nicely done.
I'm afraid Mayor Mike is a bit behind the times... Not aware of the modern trends of regularly increasing spending and taxes. Maybe Congress should enact a bill to tax all those tax savings, so the people of Fair Haven pay their fair share.
