>Christie orders Legislature into property tax special session Thursday
Gov. Chris Christie’s office announced this morning that the governor has ordered the Legislature to convene Thursday at 10 a.m. for a special session to consider his Cap 2.5 property tax cap proposal and the balance of his 33-bill reform package. In a letter to legislative leaders and high-ranking legislative staffers dated Monday, Christie says the special session is to focus on the cap on local property taxes, the cap on state government operational spending, the balance of his proposals to reform management at the local levels of government and at colleges and to consider any action he may take on S-29, the 2.9% property tax cap approved by the Legislature Monday and early Tuesday morning.
