Get up and get informed!

In other news, a report from real estate platforms Zillow and StreetEasy reveals that New York City rents are rising seven times faster than wages. Additionally, a recent NJ.com report suggests that a corporate tax intended to fill a billion-dollar gap in New Jersey Transit's budget could become a sticking point or bargaining chip as officials seek additional funding for StayNJ, a program aimed at cutting many seniors' tax bills in half. Governor Phil Murphy says both things are possible.
