O’Dea advises changes for collecting payroll tax on Jersey City construction projects

“While I share the concern that businesses are not paying the taxes owed, the problem with collecting payroll taxes on construction projects is more severe,” said O’Dea, who got the city to investigate payroll taxes at 88 Regent St. about 14 months ago.

He added that around the same time, he raised questions about taxes never paid at a construction project on Grand Street.
