New York, NY - Property Tax Rising Again
Posted on 4:31 PM by ram
New York, NY - City Council voted yesterday to increase property taxes. The $64 million citywide increase will cost the average single-family homeowner an extra $66 for the fiscal year that ends June 30.
Tax rates for the four property classes are adjusted yearly to comply with state-mandated adjustments of the "share" of taxes imposed on each category.
By law, the Council could have increased the tax share for Class 1 properties (one-, two- and three-family homes) by as much as 5%. Instead, the Council limited the increase to 2% by increasing the tax bite on Class 3 (utilities) and Class 4 (commercial) properties. The taxes on Class 2 properties will go up as well, co-ops by an average of $114 and condos by $207.

Monmouth County, NJ - Court Appoints Co. to Pay Creditors Affected By Dwek Bank Fraud Scheme
Posted on 1:31 PM by ram
Monmouth County, NJ - Superior Court Judge Alexander D. Lehrer has appointed an alliance formed between Wick Co. and Sitar Co. Oncor International to market a sizable commercial and residential real estate portfolio amassed by indicted real estate developer Solomon Dwek.
The portfolio of nearly 270 properties is valued at more than $400 million and consists of shopping centers, vacant land, residential homes, and office, industrial, multifamily and mixed-use properties primarily in New Jersey's Monmouth and Ocean counties.
According to the court order, approximately 66 of the properties are currently losing money.
Dwek was charged earlier this year by Monmouth County prosecutors with scheming to defraud Pittsburgh-based PNC Bank out of $50 million. He was arrested after misrepresenting himself at two PNC branches, attempting to deposit two $25 million checks drawn from a closed business account.
The bank fraud charge carries a maximum term of 30 years in prison and a maximum fine of $1 million.
Anti-Semit Feels for Racist
Posted on 12:12 PM by ram
The Anti-Semit Mel Gibson has expressed sympathy for the embattled Michael Richards, confiding that "my heart went out to the guy".
Richards was forced to make a public apology after using racist language in Los Angeles two weeks ago.
Earlier this year, Gibson showed similar contrition for anti-semitic remarks made during an arrest on suspicion of drink driving. "I feel really bad for the guy," Gibson said. "He was obviously in a state of stress ... My heart went out to the guy."
When he was asked what the future held in store for Richards, Gibson offered a sage and sad prediction: "They'll probably torture him for a while and then let him go."
