Apr. 29--TRENTON, N.J. -- Nearly 200,000 middle- and working-class families in North Jersey stand to receive rebate checks as high as $800 under a property tax relief plan Governor McGreevey will unveil before a special session of the Legislature today.

The governor will propose a sweeping restructuring of the state's rebate programs that would feature a new two-tiered system for the suburban middle class -- his core constituency that catapulted him to power in 2001.

It calls for sending the $800 checks to most homeowners earning less than $125,000, and $500 checks for homeowners earning between $125,000 and $200,000, an administration source told The Record.

McGreevey will also propose a windfall for senior citizens, another powerful voting bloc. His plan calls for boosting the maximum amount they can receive from $775 to $1,200.
