TRENTON, N.J. (AP) —
New Jersey's top court says judges will take over the enforcement of
state affordable housing policy because Gov. Chris Christie's
administration has failed to do so.
Tuesday' state Supreme Court ruling represents another legal loss for Christie and a shift in procedures for local governments.
In a series of rulings over the
last 40 years, the New Jersey court has found that towns should have
housing for lower-income residents.
In the latest, the unanimous
court says the state has repeatedly failed to implement satisfactory
rules on how many homes that towns are responsible for and their options
for providing them.
The court says it would not
prevent either the administration or Legislature for taking action to
set up a new administrative process.
