Revolt Lower Hoboken Taxes Protest Recap

The taxpayer advocate groups of Hoboken Revolt and Lower Hoboken Taxes had a rally outside of City Hall last night at 6:30 PM to protest the recent tax levy increase of 47% on the municipal portion. Some of the key speakers were Richard Pasquarelli , Bob Duval and Brian Wagoner. I am leaving a few names out since I yet don't know all the key speakers of both groups.

There were about 300 in attendance and maybe a little less than the last protest possibly due to the cold weather. Here are some photos that capture the spirit of the rally as well as video of some of the key speakers:
