New Jersey shore property owners and renters worry that a new tax on short-term lodging like Airbnb rentals could hurt the state’s shore economy. The 11.625 percent sales and transient accommodation tax went into effect late last year as part of the fiscal 2019 budget. A group of property owners have taken their concerns to lawmakers, who authored legislation to exempt shore counties from the tax. (AP Photo/Wayne Parry, File)
