PROPOSAL FOR NORTH JERSEY CASINOS MOVING ALONG

The proposal for casino development in Northern New Jersey continues to move throughout the New Jersey legislature. On Monday the Assembly Judiciary Committee held a second public hearing on a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow regulated gambling at least 72 miles outside of Atlantic City. If the proposed legislation is approved by three-fifths of the New Jersey Assembly and Senate, then it will be placed on the November ballot. The vote by the legislature could come as early as next week.
