Putting an end to the so called "Snooki Subsidy," Governor Chris Christie has vetoed a measure that allowed for MTV's "Jersey Shore" to take advantage of a major tax break.
Making the call on Monday, the governor blocked a $420,000 film credit that was approved by the Economic Development Authority last week, which allowed for the state to flip some of the bill for show's production costs.
"I have no interest in policing the content of such projects. However, as chief executive I am duty-bound to ensure that taxpayers are not footing a $420,000 bill for a project which does nothing more than perpetuate misconceptions about the state and its citizens," Mr. Christie said in a news release according to Newark Star-Ledger.
The move by Christie marks a stark reversal from his previous position, as he had contested that he was unable to veto the credit, as told by his spokesperson, "It's the law. If the Legislature has buyer's remorse, they are free to fix it."
