HOW TO CHANGE FORT LEE

I HAVE LIVED IN THIS TOWN FOR 55 YEARS (ALL MY LIFE, LONGER THAN MR. MEYERS) MY FAMILY HAS ALSO BEEN IN THIS TOWN OVER 100 YEARS. MY FAMILY'S PROPERTY ON HUDSON STREET WAS CONDEMNED IN THE EARLY FIFTIES, TO MAKE WAY FOR MARGINAL ROAD. (NOW SOUTH MARGINAL ROAD). WE LOST A BUSINESS AND A HOME. AT THAT TIME, THE OWNERS OF CONDEMNED PROPERTY WERE NOT COMPENSATED AT FAIR MARKET VALUE. WE GOT NOTHING. I HAVE SEEN THE CHANGES, THE HIGH RISES, THE POPULATION GROWTH, THE INCREASED TRAFFIC ETC. FORT LEE IS FORT LEE, IT WILL NEVER BE A 'RIDGEWOOD' MR. MEYERS. IT IS A BEDROOM COMMUNITY. NOT ALL OF US CAN AFFORD THE 'UPSCALE' SHOPS YOU ARE PROPOSING. OUR STORE FRONTS ARE EMPTY BECAUSE OF THE RIDICULOUS RENTS. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW 'PRETTY' YOU MAKE MAIN STREET. PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO SHOP IN FORT LEE. I HAVE SEEN MY PROPERTY TAXES GO FROM $1900.00 IN 1988 TO OVER $8000.00. WHEN WILL THIS END? THE ONLY WAY THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE IN THIS TOWN IS TO CHANGE THE RULING OFFICIALS. I THINK IT IS TIME. PLEASE VOTE ON NOVEMBER SECOND.
