ASSEMBLY REPUBLICANS ANNOUNCE APPOINTMENTS TO PROPERTY TAX COMMITTEE TEAMS
SUBCOMMITTEES ON EACH TOPIC WILL ENSURE ALL MEMBERS OF THE CAUCUS HAVE INPUT
Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce today announced the membership on four teams that will serve as subcommittees in an advisory role to the appointed Assembly Republican members of the four joint legislative committees on property tax reform.
"These teams will meet to discuss these issues and provide suggestions and guidance for our four members serving on these committees," said DeCroce, R-Morris and Passaic. "We have created these teams to ensure that every member of our caucus, and each of their constituents, has an opportunity to have input in this very important process."
DeCroce announced last week that he had appointed Assemblymen Joseph Malone, Kevin O'Toole, Richard Merkt and David Wolfe to serve on the four property tax joint legislative committees created to study shared services, benefits reform, school funding, and the constitutional convention.
At that time DeCroce announced that four teams will be formed on each of these subject areas, and that every member of the Assembly Republican caucus will be appointed to one of those teams, which will be headed up by the four appointed committee members.
Additionally, Assembly Republicans will be appointing public members to serve on each of these teams to provide input from taxpayers.
"We hope that by placing members of the general public on these teams that we will get valuable insight from the people who are most directly affected by our property tax crisis," DeCroce said. "These public members will also he helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of any proposals that come out of these committees."
The names of the members of each Assembly Republican property tax subcommittee are attached.
