TRENTON, N.J. - June 18, 2009 - The unanticipated revenue comes from a tax amnesty program that
ended Monday. The program raised at least $400 million more than
anticipated. With thousands of envelopes still to count, the final
figure could be much higher.
Assembly Budget Committee Chairman Lou Greenwald raised the
possibility Thursday that the money could be used to property tax
rebates to homeowners making less than $75,000.
The Assembly and Senate postponed votes on the budget Thursday
while members figure out how to factor in the windfall.
