Take Action>>> Tell Speaker Prieto to Stop Stonewalling Property Tax Relief!
Citizens of New Jersey
Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto (D-32) is stonewalling property tax relief!
As part of Gov. Christie's 2% property tax cap passed in 2010, interest arbitration awards were also capped at 2%. Ask any local or county elected official and they will tell you this tool is essential for helping to keep our outrageous property tax bills in check.
Instead of just extending the 2% arbitration cap by this year's April 1 deadline, Trenton liberals worked with Big Labor behind closed doors to try to change the rules. After the bill passed both houses on March 27, Gov. Christie issued a conditional veto (CV) to keep the original 2% arbitration cap in place.
The Senate immediately voted the same day to accept the Governor's CV-but Speaker Prieto didn't even allow it to come up for a vote! Instead, he adjourned the Assembly and now the arbitration cap has expired. No vote to accept the Governor's terms and extend the cap has been scheduled.
This is unacceptable!
Speaker Prieto owes it to taxpayers to reconvene the Assembly now and allow a vote to "Keep the Cap"!
