Gov. Chris Christie suspended the film tax credit program in 2010 to close a budget deficit. The NJ statehouse gives turns around and gives MTV the $420Ktax cedit this year. I have never seen the stupid show. The late night shows have the cast on. I do know the Hollywood walk of fame won't allow TV reality show stars to have a Star. Bubby Holly just had a star placed there.The cast of Jersey Shores all got mad because they thought with their acting abilities? they deserved a star on the walk of fame. For what I don't know. Quote TRENTON, N.J. - September 15, 2011 (WPVI)--The state Economic Development Authority on Wednesday approved covering $420,000 of the production costs for the hit reality series' inaugural 2009 season. Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon told the Statehouse Bureau of The Star-Ledger of Newark and The Record newspaper he can't believe taxpayers are paying "for fake tanning for `Snooki' and `The Situation."' |
