Gov. Chris Christie is considering whether to stand in the way of a $420,000 tax credit approved for MTV's “Jersey Shore” last week by the state Economic Development Authority.
The film credit covers production costs for the hit reality series’ inaugural 2009 season. The show centers on the cast living it up along the beach and boardwalk in Seaside Heights.
Christie suspended the film tax credit program in 2010 to close a budget deficit. But the 2009 season still qualified.
The governor's spokesman suggested last week that Christie couldn’t stop the tax credit. But Christie now says a veto is possible and that he's reviewing it.
