New Jersey Gov. Chris Christies administration Tuesday was expected to consider giving more than $100 million in state tax credits to a defense contractor that has made major financial contributions to the Republican political organization Christie chairs. If approved, the tax credits to Lockheed Martin would be similar to other taxpayer subsidies awarded by Christie officials to major GOP donors...

The same PAC made a $25,000 contribution to the RGA in 2013, when the organization backed Christies re-election campaign.

...Christie has awarded more than $4 billion worth of such subsidies at the same time Christie has said the state cannot meet its pension obligations...
But what's a good tragedy without an epilouge?

New Jersey lawmakers advanced pay-to-play legislation aimed at cracking down on political contributions from corporations receiving state tax subsidies...The...bill is expected to now move to the full Senate for a vote...
Over the last year, New Jersey politics has been roiled by revelations that state contracts have been given to firms whose employees have made major contributions to Republican groups backing Governor Christie's election campaigns. That has included contributions from employees of Wall Street firms hired by Christie's State Investment Council to manage pension money.
