Hudson County Budget Approved With Key Changes

Hudson County just approved a $769 million budget with a $1.3 million amendment targeting rental aid and food security for vulnerable families — but not without controversy. The tax levy rises 9.27%, unevenly distributed, with Secaucus seeing a small drop. Community pressure drove the amendment, proving grassroots advocacy works. Two commissioners opposed the main budget, citing concerns over funding for the Schools of Technology, including potential layoffs and financial gaps. Despite the dissent, the budget passed — aiming to keep essential services running while schools and county leaders hope to resolve their differences for the kids.
