CHRISTIE SPENDS $4.7M IN SANDY RELIEF FUNDS ON PSEUDO CAMPAIGN ADS FEATURING HIMSELF

CHRISTIE SPENDS $4.7M IN SANDY RELIEF FUNDS ON PSEUDO CAMPAIGN ADS FEATURING HIMSELF

According to a report in the Asbury Park Press, a new ad campaign dubbed “Stronger Than The Storm” stars Christie and his family. The ad campaign is costing taxpayers almost $5 million. The price tag comes in $2 million higher than a bid denied by the Governor’s administration from a competing firm. The ads are part of a $25 million dollar state tourism fund given to New Jersey in the Sandy relief bill.

“The contract documents shine new light on the role Christie administration officials had in the new TV commercials, which are controversial because they give Christie more exposure during a gubernatorial election year, and also because they introduce him to voters in other states in advance of a possible 2016 presidential campaign.
