When campaigning in any of Hunterdon County's 26 towns, candidates for the Board of Freeholders say they have a hard time escaping the one issue gripping residents across the county. "Taxes are on everyone's mind," said Matthew Holt, a former Clinton Town mayor who is running as a Republican for one of two seats on the board. "I know it sounds like a broken record, but, frankly, that's what you get hit with all the time." As state lawmakers continue to grapple with ways to reduce the nation's highest property tax rates, Hunterdon candidates are positing their own ideas to alleviate the burden on taxpayers. Sharing services Holt and Republican freeholder candidate Ron Sworen, who is currently in his 11th year as the mayor of Frenchtown, say promoting shared services throughout Hunterdon's local governments and school systems is paramount to reducing costs in the county.
The worldwide cable TV industry is in a race to provision a "three-screen" service that starts with HDTV sets, maps over to broadband-connected PCs, and follows subscribers around during the day on cell phones or other portable devices, reports In-Stat. As a result, the TV infrastructure equipment market will enjoy strong, continued growth with revenues rising from about US$925.4 million in 2006 to more than US$2.1 billion in 2010.

IT'S spring carnival racing time and the Howard Government has gone to Victoria to back what it hopes will be a sure thing. Yesterday it dropped $75 million on what will be the world's biggest solar power station as its first big punt on a range of new low greenhouse emission technologies in the coming weeks. It's been more than two years since it announced the formation of its Low Emissions Technology Development Fund. The realisation of pulling together more than 30 starters and a forensic review of the form by a panel of eminent and expert Australians couldn't have come at a better time for a government seriously needing to back a political winner in the climate change stakes. Howard's first wager certainly looks handy: a remarkable and innovative Australian solar technology that has enough wow-factor to make Australians simultaneously proud and impressed, with its fancy talk of using space technology, Boeing and even the US Department of Energy.
When Wendy Thompson was looking for a home large enough for her four children and her new husband's two children this spring, the choices seemed uninspiring. The existing homes in the Macomb County communities where she wanted to live, such as Chesterfield and Richmond townships, were out of her price range. So she settled on a modular home, but then did not qualify for the mortgage. But that turned out to be a good thing. Thompson and her husband, Nick Thompson, were driving around near Gratiot Avenue and 27 Mile and found the Amherst Community in New Haven. The sign out front advertised new single-family houses starting at $119,900. The Saratoga model starts as a one-bedroom bungalow with cathedral ceilings at 1,000 square feet. With options, it can grow to more than 2,100 square feet with five bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths for $141,000.

Three weeks after giant private-equity firm Thomas H. Lee Partners agreed to buy an 80% stake of Iowa Falls ethanol producer Hawkeye Holdings in May, Hawkeye filed registration papers with the Securities & Exchange Commission to go public. The buyout deal hadn't even closed yet, but Thomas H. Lee was already looking forward to an initial public offering expected to generate a huge profit on its $312 million investment. The firm didn't just cross its fingers and wait, however: It took $20 million from Hawkeye as an advisory fee for negotiating the buyout and a $1 million "management fee"--and will soon take about $6 million to meet its own tax obligations. All told, Thomas H. Lee will collect payments of around $27 million by yearend--despite Hawkeye's having earned just $1.5 million in the six months through June.
