TRENTON— Corzine/Weinberg ’09 campaign manager Maggie Moran today blasted the Christie campaign for the lie contained in their latest advertising.
 
“The Christie campaign released an ad today that contains an outright lie.  Their claim that Jon Corzine did not pay state income taxes is completely and totally inaccurate.  Jon Corzine makes one dollar per year as Governor, and paid every penny of the taxes he owed last year, as he does every year.  Jon Corzine overpaid on his taxes in 2007 and the credit from that year was applied to his 2008 state income taxes.  This desperate attempt to mislead the public by a campaign in complete freefall is inexcusable.  Christie must have used the same accountant that did his taxes for this analysis.  There is only one candidate in this race that failed to report income on his income tax returns, and that is Chris Christie.”
