Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s property tax reclassification plan advanced in the House Thursday — but not enough representatives showed up for session. That enabled a South Shore Republican with concerns about the plan’s impacts on the business community to delay action on the bill.

With only around five members in the chamber, the House had to adjourn immediately, according to its rules, to reconvene on Friday morning.
