TOMS RIVER-Toms River Township Mayor Mo Hill and the Toms River council will be voting on an ordinance to exceed the 2% property tax cap mandated by former Governor Chris Christie.  Despite a warm winter that produced lower heating, fuel and snow removal costs, the township is still in need of more money, according to the resolution.
