Governor Chris Christie took action on dozens of bills on Tuesday, Save Jerseyans, including the signing of a jobs bill and e-driver’s license program backed by sometimes-ally Tom Kean, Jr.
Christie also vetoed a controversial Atlantic City PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) program that served as a focal point of last year’s LD2 Assembly campaign.
Veto statements for S2806, A3806, and A4271 are linked with the number.
