Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s property tax reclassification plan advanced in the House Thursday but not enough representatives showed up for session, enabling a South Shore Republican with concerns about the plan’s impacts on the business community to delay action on the bill.
The home rule petition was rushed through a pair of committees and received an initial vote of approval in the House before Rep. David DeCoste of Norwell doubted the presence of a quorum. With only around five members in the chamber, the House had to adjourn immediately, according to its rules, to reconvene on Friday morning.
