GOP convenes a special Dem-slamming session
GOP convenes a special Dem-slamming session

Assembly Republicans gathered yesterday for a special legislative session on property tax reform, but found no Democrats waiting.

That's because a special session was actually never scheduled by Assembly Speaker Albio Sires, D-West New York.

So minority Republicans instead lobbed criticism toward majority Democrats, blaming them for state woes and charging them with avoiding action on a leading concern - the state's highest-in-the-nation property taxes.

"The people of New Jersey have waited long enough for relief," said Assembly Minority Leader Alex DeCroce, R-Parsippany-Troy Hills.

1. expect no less from the party of dirty tricks
If you can't win by playing fair then cheat. Heck, if you're bored, then cheat. Any old excuse will do with those twits.

2. If it worked for the Repukes in the US Congress, why not the State level?
