Mad as Heck? Not Going to Take It Anymore?

Sick of something in New Jersey?

Saturday has been dubbed as "I'm Not Going to Take it Anymore" Day by Holidays on the Net. Whether it's traffic, potholes, or something more local, there's probably a resource residents can use to express their two cents—whether it's a simple trip to the  or an online form.

Here’s five things you can do when you can’t take it anymore:

1. You Can’t Take the Potholes Anymore: Report them directly to the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s website, providing the pothole’s located on a state road. If it’s a county road—like Amwell Road, River Road, and Dukes Parkway West— the Somerset County Pothole Hotline is 908-541-5021.
2. You Can’t Take the Traffic Anymore: Well, everyone knows about the traffic on roads and highways in NJ. You can get traffic updates via phone or the Internet from The Department of Transportation’s 511 information center. The website is 511nj.org, and you can set up different sorts of alerts for NJ’s major highways.
3. You Can’t Take the Taxes Anymore: If you think your property’s been improperly revaluated, you’ll want to contact the Somerset County Tax Board about a tax appeal. You can read up on the process on their website.
4. You Can’t Take the Repairs Anymore: Residents who are age 60 or older can take advantage of the Department of Social Services Mr. Fix-It program for small home projects and minor repairs. The only cost is the cost of materials, and appointments can be made by calling 908-369-3880.
5. You Can’t Take the Strays Anymore: If you’re worried about a stray animal—it is pretty cold out, after all—St. Hubert’s Giralda handles the township’s animal control services and can be reached at 908-526-3330. Of course, if it’s a wild or stray animal that’s behaving oddly, including being unusually aggressive, friendly or stumbling, you should call the Hillsborough Police Department at 908-369-4323. More information on animals and health can be found on the Hillsborough Health Department’s website.
