The Committee
The Committee consists of volunteer residents that have gathered to organize a series of public forums on the subject. This effort was initiatied to follow-up on the Governor's Commission on Property Tax and it's finding and conclusion that, public dialog was key to creating public agreement on the issues facing New Jersey public policy.
Committee membership will be expanded but participation in the planning will not limited to Retirees group or West Windsor residents.
Our Mission and Process.The forum planning activity is envisioned to seek regional participation from interested parties in Mercer County to broaden the participation and perspective of the relevant issues. State Assembly and Senate members will be contacted to solicit guidance on issues and to join the public forums.
