N.J. Assembly members divided on giving up Sumner Vacation and attending Monday special session called by Christie
Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald said he and other leaders in the lower house haven’t figured out if most Assembly Democrats will voluntarily come to the special session Gov. Chris Christie has called.
“We’re continuing to talk to members. Leadership is right now asking if people will be there,” said Greenwald (D-Camden). “We’re waiting for word back from our members as who can be there so we can guarantee a quorum.”
Christie yesterday summoned the Legislature back to the Statehouse for a special session, upset that they did not pass legislation enabling a tax cut that would take effect in January. Instead, Democrats have said they will enact the cut if Christie meets his optimistic revenue projections. (Friedman, The Star-Ledger)
