8-2-06 Special Session 4 committees description
Posted on the New Jersey Legislature website...It is notable that there is still no schedule or agenda available to for these committees. In addition, to date, only the first meeting dates have been made available and, with the exception of the 8-4-06 committee on Constitutional Convention in comm Rm 4 of the Statehouse Annex, location of those meetings has not even been announced. GSCS questions what in effect is a lack of process that impedes effective and open public participation.As posted on the New Jersey Legislature website:
