>Christie takes action to abolish N.J. affordable housing council, shift higher education supervision
On the eve of the state government’s new fiscal year, Gov. Chris has taken five “reorganization plan” actions, including moving to abolish the Council on Affordable Housing and Commission on Higher Education.
The governor also transferred State Planning Commission and the Office of Smart Growth from the Department of Community Affairs and the Business Retention and Attraction Division to the Department of State where Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno oversees his efforts to support or attract business and industry to New Jersey. (Hester, New Jersey Newsroom)
