Alt Text: A colorful, editorial-style cartoon set inside a Secaucus deli. In the foreground, a large white sign clipped to a display stand reads, "WORLD CUP SURCHARGE PROPOSED: 9.6% SALES TAX? TEMPORARY 3% HIKE (NJ S4111) June 12 - July 21."

The cash register shows a receipt with a "Meadowlands Tax 9.6%" line item. In the background, a window looks out onto a Secaucus street, featuring a "Meadowlands Soccer Fever" poster.
