Hi, Ed, I’m calling about the $432 tax hike in Hamilton. Why doesn’t Mayor Bencivengo confer with Gov. Corzine, who is a self-made millionaire? Corzine must have something up his sleeve that could help us. Also, why don’t they try to gain revenues some other way than raising taxes? Isn’t there some other way to get some money?
