What Has The "Christie Price Tag" Cost Middletown?

Why has Chris Christie decided so early in his reelection campaign for governor to go negative with an attack ad against his presumptive challenger Senator Barbara Buono, before the June 4th primary election?  In Christie's latest ad it states that under his administration there has been no new taxes for anyone, the best job growth in a decade and the most education funding ever. All bold statements and not exactly true. Property taxes and school taxes have cost New Jerseyians  heavily since he took office, far more than they did under John Corzine and New Jersey still trails the country in jobs growth and unemployment.

Of course, governor Christie doesn't want you to know all this and with this negative ad he is trying to direct our attention away from himself and his policies and towards painting Senator Buono as a tax and spend, liberal, Corzine Democrat for pointing out Christie's failures to support hard working middle-class families.

Below is an example of what governor Christie has cost state residents since he took office. The picture shows "The Christie Price Tag", an interactive tool that allows residents the opportunity to see for themselves how much the governor have cost them in local taxes, for Middletown Township and what his policies on property taxes and school funding has cost Middletown residents.

If you don't live in Middletown simply type in the town in which you do live in and you'll see how much Chris Christie has cost you these past 3 years.

With a real record like this, it's no wonder Christie is has gone negative.
