The Garden State tax program has been dormant since it expired in 2015 and then-Gov. Chris Christie vetoed efforts to renew it.Christie, a Republican, called it an expensive program with "dubious" returns for New Jersey. And he criticized the hundreds of thousands of dollars awarded to MTV's "Jersey Shore," which he argued "did "nothing more than perpetuate misconceptions about the state and its citizens."In a statement accompanying the conditional veto, Murphy, a Democrat, said the lapse represents wasted opportunity.

Phil Murphy wants to reverse Chris Christie on this hot issue: Jersey Shore!
Reality TV killed New Jersey's film tax credit, and it could be reality TV that resurrects it. Gov. Phil Murphy this week conditionally vetoed a bill to restore the tax breaks, recommending that reality TV productions be allowed to apply. Democratic leaders in the state Senate say they will vote to adopt the governor's recommendations, which also include added incentives for productions that hire a diverse cast and crew.
