NJ Forgave Millions in Trump Casino Taxes After Christie's Election
-------------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as The New York Times is reporting that New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie's administration forgave millions of dollars of taxes
owed by Donald Trump's casinos to New Jersey, even after state auditors
raised concerns some of the casinos' tax filings were fraudulent. When
Christie was elected governor in 2009, New Jersey was seeking nearly $30
million in taxes owed by Trump's casinos. Two years later, under
Christie's leadership, the state settled with Trump for only $5 million.
