WASHINGTON, D.C. – May 13, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove praised Governor Christie’s decision to veto S-1650/A-2463, a controversial measure which would revise requirements for emergency medical services delivery in New Jersey. The legislation faced staunch opposition from local EMS volunteer squads and residents who feared that their communities would be negatively impacted in terms of the emergency services provided and increases in property taxes.
