Andrea WellsPersonal Lines: How Technology is Changing the Way Agents Do Business
Dear Mr. Ritacco:
You broke the law in the performance of your duties.
Sorry but we don’t feel obligated to live up to the terms of your employment agreement, either.
As George Costanza would say, this guy had “no hand”.
Getting the crooks out of the school system, and those in the system only for their own perssonal benefit, is a good first step to fixing what we all know is a broken education system. Now I’d like to know who the agent or agency was that was involved in the inflated insurance charges. That one should be prosecuted, with loss of license as well. Just maybe, if we get all of the excesses out of the sysem, school costs and taxes could bne stabilized, or monies could be used to get better teachers, administrators, etc.
Then all we have to do is deal with the crooked public contract awards, crooked politicians, public worker unions…the list goes on. I doubt you can even expect taxes to stabilize let alone go down. NJ won’t respond until there is an exdodus from the state. Then when the people with the means to pay the rediculous taxes refuse to live here, maybe things will change.
Good point. Actually, there is an exodus from NJ. It’s been going on for a few years now. Overall population has been reducing steadily. The number was something like 80,000 in 2010. Other than proximity and the shore, there is no good reason to be here…:( Kind of sad.
Hey folks – there is one (at least) good reason to stay in NJ – based on the many people I know who left for greener pastures, only to return because compared to other places THIS IS WHERE THE MONEY – AND JOBS – IS. I of course agree that we have a lot of problems with politicians (some of the ones nominated turn out to be dishonest, then we get a retread who has trouble with amost anything he has to deal with – and other such problems). My travels around the country and world all confirm that NJ is a rich place to live and work – for its citizens. Take the bad with the good.
I’m selling my house in NJ (at well below it’s “appraised market value” for tax purposes) because the taxes at $24k have outsripped what little increase I’ve managed to make over the last several years. Make way for the apartment life. Whoop Eee.
That’s true but if you’re an agent, you probably use the tax records as an underwriting tool and when you see a 1500 s.f. home taxed at $9500, just how much of a % of pre tax income does NJ think a household has available just for property taxes nevermind fill the tank, pay tolls, buy food, etc?
