Freeholder director plans to call for 0 percent tax increase for second year.
Now that this year's county budget season is wrapped up with the adoption of the 2013 Morris County Budget, county officials are already working on 2014 numbers and seeking to impose no tax increase for the second year. The county adopted its $311.1 million budget on March 27, which did not include a tax increase. Freeholder Director Tom Mastrangelo said Monday he will again call on freeholders to adopt a no-increase budget next year. "In 2013 we had the first zero increase in 15 years, and with the reduction in the open space tax, residents' total county property taxes were reduced by 1.7 percent," he said. The 2013 county budget includes about $6 million in spending reductions from 2012, including 63 employees' positions cut, and $7.7 …

Officials believe they can cut costs enough to balance the budget at Morris View, the county-run facility. But advocates for seniors worry that if they fail, there will be no safety net for patients many private nursing homes don't want to serve.
Built on hillsides, near streams, or in other picturesque locations, county-run nursing homes once stood as monuments to local governments’ ability to care for people in need. But that was long ago. Now they stand as targets. New Jersey’s county-owned nursing homes routinely operate at multimillion-dollar deficits that make it more and more difficult for county executives and freeholders to fulfill campaign promises to hold the line on taxes. And the fiscal outlook for the facilities continues to worsen with ongoing cuts in Medicaid and new state-imposed budget restrictions.
