CNBNews OPINION: IN NJ HIGHER TAXES ARE FORCING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES

 

William E Cleary Sr. | CNBNews Editor/publisher

This past year two elderly families who lived in the *Riverview Heights section of Gloucester City were forced to move because they couldn't afford to live in their homes any longer.  These were longtime residents who have resided in our immediate neighborhood for 25 years plus.

Watching the one senior citizen being evicted by a Camden County Sheriff Officer was heartbreaking. Besides giving up her home she had to give up her dog Popeye along with her cat because the place where she moved to didn't allow pets. Much of her belongings were placed on the curb for trash pickup as there was no room for it in the county home.  The other elderly residents said by moving out of Gloucester City and Camden County to Gloucester County they actually were going to save  $2,000 because their taxes, utility costs and insurance were lower.

Today both homes remain empty.

Dawn Watson's Just Sayin’ Keep on Truckin’

 

Dawn Watson | CNBnews Contributor

     

 
I am a trucker.

 

   My spiffy little Hyundai Accent could not pull the trailer I bought, so I sold her and bought a used truck. The Accent was named Katniss. The truck is Ragnar. I’ve become a different person.

 

   I drove Ragnar home from Philly. There was traffic. I was surprised at how easy he was to handle. Cars honked at me. I honked back. The sound of the horn was deep and resonant. Powerful. Definitely not a Katniss-sounding horn.

They ride their sparkling new bikes that boast eighty pounds of chains to secure them and gripe about actually having a vehicle they have to peddle.
