This blog was written by North Caldwell native Alexa Sibio, a graduate of Montclair State University.
This blog was written by Alexa Sibio, of North Caldwell, who is a staff accountant at Smolin Lupin who completed her first tax season this year. April 16 is a day that will live in infamy. People who are not in the accounting industry figure April 15 is a much more significant day, but I just completed my very first tax season at Smolin Lupin and, as an accountant, I can tell you April 16 feels as if I finally crossed the finish line. During my studies at Montclair State University, I interned at Turner Construction Company in New York City over the course of three years. My internship was very exciting and I was able to learn a lot about the profession, however, I never worked a tax season at an accounting firm. Sure, I heard a lot about…

“I feel strongly that we still can do better in some areas,” said Council President Richard Hauser about the budget.
Expect your Caldwell tax bill to increase in 2013. The Caldwell Borough Council introduced a $11,532,789 municipal budget on Tuesday that included 1.4 percent tax hike. This means the average Caldwell home assessed at $421,455 will pay about $42 more in municipal taxes than in 2012. While taxes will rise, the overall 2013 budget actually fell by more than $400,000 from last year. “We fine-tuned the budget,” said Borough Administrator Paul Carelli, who attributed the tax increase to a drop in borough revenues. “We did have increases in the budget, but we also cut somethings from the budget,” said Carelli. “The increase is primarily because we have less revenues this year.” There was also a slight decrease in budgeted salaries, which was…

Governor chides reporters for obsessing about 'silly,' 'shallow' subject, says he is not a role model
Gov. Chris Christie reluctantly fielded reporters’ questions Tuesday about his February Lap-Band surgery, but said he would not be providing the public with any news as he heads towards his weight-loss goal, which he pointedly refused to disclose. "This is it. You ask me any more questions about this, I’m not answering,” Christie said during a groundbreaking ceremony at a Newark vocational high school. "I’m not going to be giving you all updates as this goes along. ... I’m not giving people a day-by-day, week-by-week, blow by blow," he said, adding, "I don’t care to be a role model for anyone. This is an intensely personal issue." The governor told the New York Post Monday night he’d had Lap-Band surgery in February because of concerns …

Many of us who grew up in New Jersey have wonderful memories of the Jersey Shore. I was a Bradley Beach and Asbury Park guy who remembers the glory days from the 1960's when Asbury Park had 5 movie theaters and a great Boardwalk. I am also thrilled that Governor Christie and President Obama are touring the improvements together. While I do not agree with many of the Presidents programs, I do … more ›
