New Jerseyans without schoolchildren: Why should we fund schools?

The AP reports:

George Rogozin's three children have finished public school, but the 78-year-old East Greenwich man still watches much of his taxes go to educate children - other people's children.

His annual property taxes have nearly doubled in recent years to $5,400, and like all New Jerseyans most of Rogozin's property taxes go to public schools.

"I'm on a fixed income and it's becoming ever so difficult to keep up," Rogozin said. "When I pay my quarterly tax amount that eats up that month's Social Security paycheck."

Rogozin is part of a growing chorus of New Jerseyans wondering why they have to pay property taxes to fund schools if they don't have children using schools.
