CASINO GROUP SAYS MORE COULD SHUTTER IF CHRISTIE DOESN’T TAKE ACTION

If Gov. Chris Christie doesn’t sign a package of bills into law to help Atlantic City more workers could be out of a job. The Casino Association of New Jersey released a statement about a five bill package that was passed by state lawmakers aimed at helping the struggling resort. The group said if Christie doesn’t sign the legislation then more casinos could close as a result. One key aspect of the proposals include a PILOT program that casinos would pay into in lieu of taxes.
