Governor Christie calls N.J. legislature back to session
Not everyone will be enjoying an extended holiday over the Fourth of July. On Saturday, Gov. Christie called New Jersey’s legislative leaders back from vacation for a special session.
Christie invoked his constitutional power in order to reconvene the lawmakers, reports Philly.com.
After he addresses the combined House and Senate on Monday at 11 a.m., he will leave the Garden State’s legislative bodies to debate his tax-cut recommendations.
“Democrats immediately dismissed as theater Christie’s directive, which requires legislators’ attendance for his speech but cannot mandate they vote on anything.”
