Corzine launches radio ads on NJ budget

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - March 16, 2009 Gov. Jon S. /*Corzine*/'s re-election campaign began running radio commercials Monday in which the Democratic governor talks about his $29.8 billion budget proposal.

The one-minute ads, airing on stations in the tri-state area, do not mention the governor's re-election campaign or his opponents.

The governor is heard saying New Jersey was the first state with a plan to respond to the global recession.

This is the Democratic governor's first media buy of the re-election campaign.

Conservative Republican /*Steve Lonegan*/ has been spending about $26,000 a week on radio ads since late January.

/*Christopher Christie*/'s campaign says the Republican candidate hasn't bought any radio spots yet.
