To the Editor:
I feel I need to make corrections to statements I made in my previous letter to the editor. I misspoke about the taxes in Surf City. I stated that we had the lowest taxes, which is not true.
Our local municipal purpose tax is .239 (which hasn’t gone up in at least three years) and falls only behind Long Beach Township, which is at .199. Keep in mind, the township has ratables of their assessed valuation of real property of over $10 billion. Surf City stands at under $2 billion.
