Tax cap
vote is
proposed
By JIM WRIGHT
The Lawrence Sun
The township council ap-
proved a non-binding resolu-
tion on Feb. 7 for a referendum
on exceeding the state-im-
posed 2 percent cap by 9 cents
per $100 of assessed value on
the 2012 municipal budget of
$42,340,689.
That increase would cost
taxpayers an additional $145.16
a year, or $12.10 a month, based
on the average 2012 residential
assessment of $161,292.
Township Manager Richard
Krawczun told council mem-
bers that cost would further
drop to $10.28 a month when
the deduction of property tax
from income taxes is figured
in.
The referendum, if formally
approved by the council,
would be held on April 17.
This is a non-binding step.
It does not commit to any-
thing, Krawczun told council
members, explaining that the
municipal clerk must adver-
tise the availability of munici-
pal ballots for the referendum
by Feb. 22.
The next council meeting is
Feb. 21.
Alternatives to the referen-
dum, Krawczun said, are the
establishment of a solid waste
utility for trash pickup, which
would cost homeowners $336 a
year, based on the average as-
sessment, and individual resi-
Virus
strikes
Rider
students
By KEVIN CANESSA JR.
The Lawrence Sun
Some 40 students at Rider
Universitys Lawrenceville
campus were hit with a
norovirus (food poisoning) on
Wednesday, Feb. 8, university
officials announced.
All of the affected students
were transported by ambu-
lance to local hospitals, and
most were discharged the
same day, officials said.
The universitys safety and
security staff worked with
local health officials and EMTs
to identify students who were
stricken by the virus, officials
said.
Officials said they believed
the norovirus broke out the
first week of February and
that it also affected the Prince-
ton University community.
Symptoms of the norovirus
include low-grade fever, chills,
headache, muscle aches and
fatigue.
So just how could so many
students have been stricken
with the virus?
There are numerous ways,
according to the university
and the Atlanta-based Centers
for Disease Control and Pre-
vention.
The virus is found in the
All about your money
By JIM WRIGHT
The Lawrence Sun
The United Financial Empow-
erment Center is one stop for resi-
dents to learn everything from
how to go about getting a job to
make money, to keeping better
track of that money. The center
will even help figure out how
much of that money needs to go
to pay taxes.
The center, which is open on
Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.,
includes programs on consumer-
credit counseling for those in
credit-card debt, debt manage-
ment, foreclosure counseling, ca-
reer center mentoring and assis-
tance in applying for NJ Family-
Care health insurance for chil-
dren.
When clients come in, they fill
out a short form to determine
what kind of assistance they
need, said Trudi Tuitt of the
Mercer Alliance to End Home-
lessness, which, she said, was
given a home by the United Way.
She said the center helped one
family get $9,100 back on their
taxes.
That helped them stay in their
home and pay some of their
bills, she said.
Herb Klein, chief executive of-
ficer of the United Way of
Greater Mercer County, got so ex-
cited over such stories from the
tax-preparation services that he
decided to become certified as a
tax preparer to help out at the
center.
It was so neat, I decided to do
it myself, he said, adding that he
knew all too well the work he was
getting himself into.
He went to the IRS online web-
site and took the exam, on which
candidates must score at least 80
percent. Once he completed it, he
had to print out the certificate to
present that he was indeed a cer-
tified tax preparer.
It took two sets of classes and
probably another two weekends
of getting through the material,
he said. It is really a lot of work,
but I enjoyed it. Its fun.
Not one to back down from a
challenge, he took advanced-level

Church announces
Ash Wednesday services
The Church of Saint Ann, 1253
Lawrenceville Road in
Lawrenceville, has announced
the following Ash Wednesday
schedule for Feb. 22: services at 7
a.m., 8 a.m., 9 a.m., 12:15 p.m., 5
p.m. and 8 p.m. All services will
be held in the church and will
consist of a Liturgy of the Word,
the blessing and distribution of
ashes and the Liturgy of the Eu-
charist.
There will be a pause between
the distribution of ashes and the
Liturgy of the Eucharist to allow
those with time constraints
or who do not share Eucharist
with us fully, to leave. All are wel-
come.
Ash Wednesday marks the be-
ginning of the penitential season
of Lent, which helps Christians
prepare for the celebration of
Easter.
Blessed palms from the past
year are burnt and blessed, and
then those who wish to commit to
improving their lives and reflect-
ing more on the Gospels, come
forward to have a cross traced on
the forehead with the blessed
ashes as an outward sign of this
commitment. A schedule of
Lenten activities to assist people
in their Lenten journey will be
available at all services.
Program seeking
child nominations
The Knight in Shining Armor
program, sponsored by corporate
partners Johnson & Johnson
and Rutgers Athletics, invites
local organizations to submit
nominations on behalf of a child
in grades K-8 who has shown
substantial courage, commitment
and compassion by going
above and beyond to help oth-
ers.
Based on nominations, one
child is honored with an on-
field/on-court presentation dur-
ing each home Rutgers football
and basketball game. During the
mens basketball game on Jan. 28,
Lawrence Intermediate School
(LIS) sixth-grader Vicki Wengler
received this special honor for
her participation in the St.
Baldricks Day fundraiser.
For the past two years,
Vicki has shaved her head as part
of the St. Baldricks Foundations
annual event dedicated to sup-
porting research for pediatric
cancer.
She was the first girl in
Lawrence to participate and has
since encouraged other women to
follow her lead. To date, Vicki has
raised $4,000 to benefit this wor-
thy cause.
This years fifth-annual
St. Baldricks Day event is
scheduled for March 17 at
Amalfis Restaurant in
Lawrenceville.

kind of taxes.
The center, which is the only
one in Mercer County to offer the
variety of free services in one
place, had a line out the door
when it opened on Jan. 31.
People come in for their taxes,
and we are able to tell them about
benefits they may be eligible for
and about financial planning,
Klein said. We want them to
begin to change the way they look
at their finances.
Working to achieve that goal,
he said, is an army of volun-
teers, many of whom return to
work at the center on a consistent
basis.
Were incredibly excited
about it, he said.
Those who need a job will find
career counseling at the center, as
well as the Dress for Success
room lined with donated clothing
volunteers will help them pick
out to wear to an interview. Each
customer can pick out two outfits,
and the center also provides free
childcare while the customer
goes on an interview.
The center, Klein said, also is
on a bus line to provide conven-
ient access for those who need it.
We run this like a business,
he said. My job is to make the
best use the of donors money.
The center is located at 3131
Princeton Pike, Suite 113, in
Lawrenceville, before Princess
Road. For information, call (609)

O
nly LeBron James Decision
captured more attention than
Chris Christies ultimate no
to seeking the GOPs presidential
nomination this year.
In hindsight, his move was genius.
Since ultimately deciding to not run
for the top spot, Christie has been col-
lecting headlines stumping for likely
GOP standard bearer Mitt Romney.
Christies candor plays well to crowds.
His willingness to engage opponents
energizes the GOP base.
In other words, hes a great fit on
what could be a formidable Romney-
Christie ticket this November.
As it stands, the GOP will be the un-
derdogs this fall. Incumbent presi-
dents can be difficult to knock off, but
theres still plenty of time for things to
change.
While Christie wouldnt necessarily
woo the social conservatives of the
GOP, he would appeal to independent
voters, would bring a real shot to take
a traditionally Democratic state in the
November elections, and would be a
tough-talking counterpart to Rom-
neys laid back approach to politick-
ing.
For Christie personally, he wins
even if the Republican ticket falls
short in the election. Should he decide
to run in 2016, he will be known across
the land, and he wont have to face an
incumbent president at the polls.
Should the GOP pull out a win this
year, Christie is next in line to be pres-
ident when Romneys turn at the helm
is over.
We think Christie has been thinking
about the presidency for awhile now.
Why wouldnt he? A number of influ-
ential Republicans tried desperately to
get him into this race. No reason he
wouldnt think about 2016 and beyond.
Now, as the primaries are rolling
along and Romney seems to be the
choice of the party, those Republicans
might get their wish. Christie might
not be at the top of the ballot come No-
vember, but he certainly can position
the party to win.
Christie a nice No. 2 for GOP
Win or lose in November, the gov would benefit from national exposure
Christie 2016? 2020?
All of those Republican insiders who
wanted Chris Christie on the ballot
this November might get their wish.
He would be a great choice for the
No. 2 spot.
dential subscriptions for trash pickup,
which would cost homeowners an estimat-
ed average $360 a year for one cart a week,
with additional fees for bulk pickup.
Krawczun told council members the cap
is forcing the township to use more of its
surplus from the previous years budget to
balance the new budget.
The amount of surplus utilized in the
budget has been declining, he said in a
presentation. But we are not regenerating
surplus at the same rate as in the past.
According to a chart Krawczun present-
ed to the council, the surplus used to sup-
port the budget as a percentage of the sur-
plus balance has been steadily increasing,
from 50.1 percent in 2002 to 97 percent in
2012.
In order to stay under the 2 percent cap
on the budget increase, he said, the council
would have to use all but $150,000 of 2011
surplus in the 2012 budget.
The 2012 municipal tax rate, he said,
would go up five cents with or without the
referendum, but without the referendum,
there will be a critical shortfall in surplus
for the 2012 budget.
This is the repercussions of a bad econ-
omy, Councilman Michael Powers said.
We would take a four-cent hit (per $100 of
assessed value) on top of declining rata-
bles. It is especially troubling, though, that
we would be left with $150,000 in surplus.
There are all kinds of unforeseeable events
that could happen.
The township, Krawczun said, has lost
$160 million in tax ratables since 2007, as
the economy has faltered, meaning a loss
of $1.4 million in tax revenue when the
2011 municipal tax rate of 84 cents per $100
is applied to that amount.
What that means is more taxes to sup-
port the same budget from fewer taxpay-
ers, he told council members.
The township manager also said the
township is running out of developable
land.
Twenty-six percent of the town is pre-
served, open space, and that is a choice
weve made, he said. We felt it was neces-
sary to buy that land to preserve it as farm-
land, but its not developable.
The tax collection rate, he said, has also
declined from 98.2 percent in 2007 to 97.2
percent in 2011. But the town must include
a 3 percent reserve for uncollected taxes,
further restricting the ability to generate a
surplus.
Interest rates, he said, also have de-
clined, meaning the township has less cash
from interest income to invest.
I would like to see from the manager
and the staff one or two other options to
plug this hole, Councilman Greg Puliti
said. They must be out there, and we have
to talk about them. This isnt a spending
problem that got us into this. Capital ex-
penditures have been held at 1 percent, and
municipal debt service is about one-tenth
of our municipal budget.
We have cut employees, Puliti said of
efforts to trim the budget, and a chart
showed that the township has gone from
213 employees in 2007 to 197 in 2011.
The council also has refinanced some of
its outstanding debt to take advantage of
lower interest rates.
Our outstanding debt is down and our
ratio of debt is down, Krawczun said.
Were hoping to perhaps by 2015 have
capital purchases on a pay-as-you-go
basis.
Council has refinanced some debt

olution that pays tribute to the
Lasleys.
