Wu has said the measure is urgently needed, but a lawmaker who does not represent any part of Boston was able to stop the bill from advancing, at least temporarily.

A Republican from Norwell shut down a House session Friday for the second day in a row over concerns he has with a tax shift plan from Boston Mayor Michelle Wu that has faced renewed pushback in the Legislature this week.

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.
