Call for Full Restoration of the Property Tax Deduction

In his budget address on March 10, 2009, Governor Jon Corzine called for a one-year suspension for all non-senior households, regardless of income, to deduct property taxes from their state tax filings. Reacting to overwhelming public angst, Governor Corzine recently adjusted his budget plan to include the restoration of the property tax deduction for senior citizens and households earning up to $150,000.
Although the partial restoration of this critical deduction is a step in the right direction, NJAR® still needs your help! Governor Corzine still has plans to eliminate property tax rebates for everyone except senior citizens and households who make less than $75,000. Given current economic conditions, this is the worst possible time to propose any legislation that undermines the basic foundation of homeownership.
Take action by participating in NJAR®'s new letter-writing campaign calling for the full restoration of the property tax deduction. Additionally, encourage your clients, friends and family to send a public letter to lawmakers.

236 Fair HAven Rd, Fair HAven NJ

Testing my new wida angle lens during my open house at 236 Fair Haven Rd. NJ. Lot's of people coming to this open house because we dropped the price 10,000 to $479,000 and as a result I am hoping someone will definitely put pen to paper.

It is interesting to see how much more you can get with a wide angle lens. I also tested my tripod in standing postion as well as holding it with my hand to see if I still jiggle and as you can see no jiggling.

there does seem to be a little distortion but not alot of fish eye which I was afraid of. You do get a good sense of the rooms.

Who's The Largest Private Landowner In The U.S.?
I've heard McDonalds, the Catholic Church, and TIAA-CREF. But according to Wikipedia, Ted Turner owns more land than any other American and uses much of it for ranches to re-popularize bison meat (for his Ted's Montana Grill chain), amassing the largest herd in the world.
