Five Things: Trash Pickup, the Governor and More

1. If you usually get your trash picked up on Mondays, get the cans out to the curb on Wednesday this week.

2. Gov. Chris Christie gives his budget address today at 2 p.m., which you can view online via NJN's live webcast. That video should also be available on the governor's Facebook page, as well.

3. Speaking of the governor, he'll be in town Thursday for a town hall meeting at 2 p.m. We'll have an update on that soon.

4. State aid figures for schools are released Thursday, and school district administrators will have concrete numbers for their budget planning for 2011-12. Last year, state aid to West Deptford was slashed by 16.5 percent, from $12.51 million to $10.44 million.

5. Concerned about the revaluation of your home? Taxpayer meetings with representatives of Appraisal Systems Inc., the company that conducted the revaluation, will be held at RiverWinds Community Center beginning Thursday.
