PAGE 5 County open space tax drops by $5M By KRISTINA SCALA The Medford Sun Sources for open space funding are looking slim after the Assem- bly failed to vote on a bill, as of Thursday, June 27, that would pro- vide more funding to the Green Acres program. The Burlington County Free- holders also reduced the county open space tax by more than $5 million. According to Burlington County spokeswoman Charlene Webster, the freeholders reduced the open space tax to help relieve a burden caused by the decrease in ratables, resulting in a general reve nue loss of $7.6 million. She said the freeholders ana- lyzed three areas to help ease the burden for the taxpayers – general operations, the library system and open space programs. Webster said the open space tax is being reduced from 4 cents per $100 of assessed value to 1.5 cen ts, or $5.3 million. Although the sig- nificant decrease may pose as a threat to some, Webster said the county has $48 million available PATRICIA DOVE/ The Shamong Sun On Saturday, June 22, Indian Mills Fire Company honored fallen heroes from 9/11 with a memorial service and dedication.
