League of Municipalities' Executive Director Bill Dressel expressed appreciation for the work of Governor Corzine's Property Tax Reform Transition Policy Group.

Earlier today, the Tax Reform Group's interim report was released in Trenton. The report calls for quick Legislative action on the Governor's campaign platform to: 1) increase property tax rebates; 2) hold a special legislative session focused on property tax reform; and 3) pass legislation asking the people of New Jersey to decide if they need a Citizens' Convention to recommend long lasting reforms

"This report was a long time coming," said Dressel. "But now that it's here, I hope the Administration wastes no time in energetically advocating its recommendations. We stand ready to help the Governor on this most important issue. The people of New Jersey will not tolerate any unnecessary delays."
