Gov. Chris Christie is facing a dual investigation, with his use of federal funds to appear in a television commercial now being looked at. The ads were to support summer tourism in New Jersey. Christie released the following statement on Monday regarding the probe.
“The Stronger Than The Storm campaign was just one part of the first action plan approved by the Obama Administration and developed with the goal of effectively communicating that the Jersey Shore was open for business during the first summer after Sandy. Federal agency reviews are routine and standard operating procedure with all federally allocated resources to ensure that funds are distributed fairly. We’re confident that any review will show that the ads were a key part in helping New Jersey get back on its feet after being struck by the worst storm in state history.”
