$30M going to NJ colleges, universities to address COVID impacts

$30M going to NJ colleges, universities to address COVID impacts Thirty-five colleges and universities in New Jersey are sharing close to $30 million in federal funding that s meant to address the coronavirus pandemic s impact on postsecondary education. Most of the funding, $28.5 million, is headed to institutions of higher education that applied for the competitive grant program Opportunity Meets Innovation Challenge. The new initiative will help schools implement best practices and develop reforms that focus on students who are historically disadvantaged and were among the hardest hit by the pandemic, such as low-income students, working-age adults, and underrepresented minorities, Governor Phil Murphy and Secretary of Higher Education Brian Bridges announced Monday.

Rare bipartisanship — most NJ voters want SALT cap removed

Rare bipartisanship most NJ voters want SALT cap removed Whether you re a Republican or a Democrat, a millennial or a senior citizen, or a man or a woman, there s one thing we re all in favor of more money in our pockets. According to findings released Monday, 63% of Garden State voters in a Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll say they re in favor of scrapping the $10,000 federal cap on state and local taxes that went into effect in 2017. Full restoration of the property tax deduction received at least 60% support from Democrats (63%), Republicans (64%) and independent voters (60%). More than 800 New Jerseyans were surveyed. The cap on state and local taxes that can be claimed as a deduction on federal taxes, better known as the SALT cap, has been seen as an attack on Democratic states, particularly high-tax states such as New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. The average tax load in many New Jersey counties is beyond $10,000.

NJ in favor of federal credit for local taxes

A clear majority of New Jersey voters from across the political spectrum want the federal government to restore an unlimited write-off for property tax bills and other state and local taxes, according to a recent poll. In all, more than 60% of those surveyed by the Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll last month indicated they want a full restoration of the federal tax write-off that’s commonly referred to as SALT. The write-off was capped at $10,000 in 2017 by former President Donald Trump and the then-Republican Congress as part of a broader overhaul of federal tax policies. But this year, several members of the now-Democratic-controlled House of Representatives are urging President Joe Biden and their colleagues to eliminate the cap as part of a wider plan to fund a major federal infrastructure-renewal initiative.
