NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Municipal Council of the Borough of Waldwick, in the County of Bergen calls for the immediate restoration of funding of Energy Taxes consistent with the State’s original commitments; increase formula based municipal aid to reflect inflation and rising service costs; and reestablish a fair and reliable fiscal partnership between the State and local governments; and,  MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE BOROUGH OF WALDWICK Bergen County, New Jersey RESOLUTION NO. 2026-162 (Page 2 of 2) BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution is forwarded to Governor Mikie Sherrill, Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell, Senator Holly Schepisi, Assemblyman Robert Auth, Assemblyman John Azzariti, Jr., the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs Jacquelyn Suárez, the State Treasurer Aaron Binder, and the New Jersey State League of Municipalities.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Municipal Council of the Borough of Waldwick, County of Bergen, State of New Jersey, that it hereby urges the New Jersey State Legislature and the Governor to: 1. Repeal the gas tax escalator; and, 2. Require that any future increases in the motor fuels tax be subject to a direct vote of the Legislature; and, 3.
