Movement On 'Tax Reform'
The Senate passed its so-called property tax reform bill, weak as it is, by a 26-10 vote just before 1 pm today. Remains to be seen what kinds of deals were cut. Last night at 11 p.m. they went home because they couldn't get enough votes.
My colleague Jon Tamari reports they returned to session at 11:55 a.m. today, and the bill passed an hour later by a 26-10 vote. The bill now goes to Corzine's desk. The first movement came when Republican senators Robert Martin, R-Morris, and Robert Singer, R-Ocean, cast votes for the bill. Singer said the governor's office showed him figures showing how much money would be sent to homeowners in his district.
