New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is holding homeowner tax credits hostage until he gets state unions and their legislative allies to give up some benefits as part of his $29.4 billion budget for fiscal 2012.
“We’re not trying to break the unions,” Christie said today on MSNBC television’s “Morning Joe” program. “The unions are trying to break the middle class in New Jersey. I am fighting for middle-class taxpayers.”
