In a new development that should surprise no one, it turns out
Governor Chris Christie failed to report or pay taxes on over $380,000
in allowances of public money. It’s just another black mark on a growing
laundry list of shady practices that have come to define the Christie
governorship. From the “Bridgegate” scandal to accepting luxurious gifts from foreign leaders,
it’s clear that there has been a pattern of corrupt behavior which
Christie has been growing more and more comfortable with, and that he
would bring all that baggage with him to the White House should he
decide to make a run for the presidency.
The state of New Jersey provides a salary of $175,000 a year to the
governor, along with a $95,000 expense allowance originally intended for
maintenance and holding functions at the lavish governor’s mansion at
Drumthwacket. The maintenance of Drumthwacket is now handled by a
nonprofit agency, allowing Mr. Christie to use the $95,000 as an
extension of his personal salary in lieu of living in the mansion. He
has failed to file that allowance,
paid for by the taxpayers, as income for the past four years straight,
allowing him to dodge $152,000 in federal income tax and another $33,000
in state taxes.
