NJ-Gov: Christie Dinged for Failing to Report Loan Income on Tax Returns

Looks like there's more trouble on Chris Christie's sail barge. We heard yesterday that Christie failed to disclose a loan that he made to one of his top deputies, and now he's being dinged for not reporting the income on his tax returns:

Christopher J. Christie, the Republican challenging Gov. Jon S. Corzine, failed to report income on his tax returns from a loan he gave to a top aide while he was New Jersey's ranking federal prosecutor, Mr. Christie's campaign staff disclosed on Tuesday.

Mr. Christie also failed to report the $46,000 loan as required under federal and state ethics rules.

The aide, Michele A. Brown, borrowed the money in 2007 from Mr. Christie while he was United States attorney for New Jersey and she was his executive assistant and counsel, according to mortgage records in Morris County.

So far this week, there's been something new about this story each day. I wouldn't be surprised, then, if it turns out that there was still more to this story that hasn't yet been reported. And I have to hand it to the Corzine camp -- they're really doing a good job of fanning the flames on Christie's ethical lapses in the media.
