MTV’s “Jersey Shore” GTL motto might now stand for gym-tax credit-laundry instead of gym-tan-laundry.
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.’”
The show centers on the cast living it up along the beach and boardwalk in Seaside Heights.
Seaside Heights Mayor P. Kenneth Hershey says the local economy gets a boost when the cast is in the town.
Gov. Chris Christie suspended the film tax credit program in 2010 to close a budget deficit.
This is why everyone rips on New Jersey. It is run by idiots, for idiots. Like really, you don't think MTV makes enough money off Snooki to fucking pony up for her 3,000 condoms per season? I think they could probably cover that. But no, the people of New Jersey are so happy that their shitty stereotypes are popular they will pay for the Situations spray tan. The governor has probably given Pauly D head, I'm not going to lie.
Might as well make her governor |
