... that in 1958, New Jersey Assemblyman Carmine Savino proposed cutting property taxes in half by imposing a 3% state sales tax that would be used to cover public school costs? Source: "Savino Tax-Cutting Suggestion Would Abolish School Boards; Bergen Assemblyman To Offer Plan At G. O. P. Committee Meeting" - "If New Jersey home owners want to cut their property tax in half, Assemblyman Carmine Savino Jr. (R., Bergen) says they should start by abolishing local boards of education.... Savino also wants the State to impose a 3 per cent sales tax and use the revenue for schools. He estimates the tax would yield approximately $250 million annually. It is this $250 million, says Savino, that could cut home owner's tax bills in half because the local property tax would no longer have to support local school expenses."

New article is 2,207 characters long and nominated five days after creation. No copyvios detected and duplication detector of online sources[1][2][3][4][5] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 177 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 8 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from The Record. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:36, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
