In the face of rising costs, persistent inflation, and a challenging fiscal environment, Livingston Township, NJ has once again demonstrated responsible financial stewardship. The proposed Township budget remains fiscally prudent, with the Township’s portion of the tax rate increase staying below the current inflation rate of 4.2%.

This budget reflects our commitment to maintaining essential services, investing in our community, and planning for the future while remaining mindful of the impact on taxpayers.

Thank you to our CFO and her staff, Township Management, and every municipal department for careful planning and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars. Proud to be part of Finance Subcommittee deep-diving our spend and revenue line items along with Ed Meinhardt.

I’ve always said it — in today’s world, clear communication depends on modern technology and consistent messaging. Kudos to our Water Department for their excellent work, and to our Communications Department for getting this important update out quickly and effectively. Special shoutout as well for proactively making changes to Fire Hydrant before the road work 👏🏽, evidence of township departments working cohesively.

We thank you!

Great to cut the ribbon at the grand reopening of the renovated Village ShopRite, a place that plays a real role in the day-to-day lives of our residents and my own family.

Thank you to the Sumas family for continuing to invest in our community, including a fully certified Kosher Bakery, and to Rabbi Klibanoff and Rabbi Proops for being part of the event.

A wonderful milestone for a store that remains an important part of Livingston.

The ShopRite of Livingston has unveiled the results of a multi-million-dollar renovation. Here's what it looks like.

Education is the key to ensure history is not repeated! Very much in awe of the dedicated and inspiring work of the Mark Schonwetter Holocaust Education Foundation. Honored to walk with Mr Schonwetter, his family and members of our community at the Livingston oval.
