Our neighboring towns are submitting their budgets for this incoming year. They are complete, on time, clear and concise with very little tax increase. Wildwood City, I'm sure, will not be ready for the deadline and will request an extension to submit theirs. Every year without fail there will be excuses for failing to do so on time. The only guarantee is that our taxes will rise again with all the new hires and services provided. The Golden Goose, also known as taxpayers, should be happy they live in the most prosperous town in South Jersey, even though it may appear to look the poorest.
