TRENTON – Legislative District 14 legislators, Senator Linda Greenstein and Assemblymen Wayne P. DeAngelo and Daniel R. Benson, released the following statement highlighting local investments in this year’s budget:

“As we recover from the detrimental economic impact of the pandemic, this year’s budget is a culmination of our collaborative effort to address the current affordability crisis and improve the quality of life for all New Jerseyans, especially our elderly residents.

We are putting money toward the expansion of local senior recreational centers, while giving elderly residents the property tax relief they deserve.

“Alongside increasing access to affordable housing and doubling the child tax credit, this budget will make large investments to support local infrastructure projects and initiatives. These investments in our local community parks and recreational centers will improve community aesthetics, increase tourism, and provide increased access to a holistic educational experiences for our children.”
