He explained the adjustment is necessary because some communities\’ property values have appreciated faster than others over the course of a year.
The fact that property values overall are rising in their towns didn\’t make a county tax increase any easier to bear for residents Elaine Hansell, of Pennsauken, and Gordon Thomas, of Gloucester City.
Hansell, 74, would see her county taxes increase by $58 in 2008. That\’s money she could otherwise use on her prescription medication, she said.
\”I\’m frustrated because in Gloucester City people are building new homes and I thought more homes in the city was supposed to mean lower taxes,\” Thomas said.

By the mid-1800s, turkeys had disappeared in New Jersey due to habitat changes and killing for food. Division biologists, in cooperation with the NJ Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, reintroduced wild turkeys in 1977 with the release of 22 birds. In 1979 biologists and technicians began to live-trap and re-locate birds to establish populations throughout the state. By 1981 the population was able to support a spring hunting season, and in December, 1997, a limited fall season was initiated.
There is now an abundance of wild turkeys throughout the state with turkeys found wherever there is suitable habitat. Even in South Jersey, where wild turkeys had been struggling just a few years ago, intensive restoration efforts have improved population numbers significantly. The population is estimated at 20,000 – 23,000 with an annual harvest of more than 3,000.
