Monmouth County Public Question
The following is the question and explainer statement:

• Should the County of Monmouth increase its dedication to the Monmouth County Open Space, Recreation, Floodplain Protection, and Farmland and Historic Preservation Trust Fund from the previously approved and implemented annual levy of 2.75 cents per $100 of equalized valuation to 3.75 cents per $100 of equalized valuation, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:12-15.2(e), with the annual levy to be used for any or all of the purposes set forth in N.J.S.A. 40: 12-15.2(a)(l )?

• This proposition would approve an increase in the annual collection rate from 2.75 cents per $100 of equalized valuation to 3.75 cents per $100 of equalized valuation through which the County of Monmouth funds the Monmouth County Open Space Trust Fund. The Open Space Trust Fund supports the current program to acquire and preserve open space for County park and recreation areas, to conserve natural resources and to protect water quality, to develop and maintain the system of County public recreation, which includes those County lands acquired for recreation and conservation purposes, to acquire easements to preserve County farmland, and to participate in cooperative park and recreation projects with Monmouth County municipalities, thereby permanently preserving these areas, providing recreational opportunities, conserving natural resources and protecting water quality for future generations of Monmouth County residents. Increasing the rate will enable the funding for open space acquisition to keep pace with rising land costs and with the loss of land to development.

In addition to local township, borough, and county candidates, voters will also be able to cast their ballot for NJ Governor and General Assembly members of their Legislative District. Those candidates can be found here.
