Re: Atlantic City Closing on Wed.
 

There was an article about this in the AC Weekly newspaper. Nobody seemed to care. Apparently this has happened two out of the last three years.

when this happened in the past this was only considered a distant possibility, never before has it gone to the ordered shutdown phase. trying to fix the budget losing more money each day by shutting down casinos is retarded. many thanks to the dems

Typical political brilliance. We have a budget problem, so let's shut down the casinos and horse tracks that bring in millions of dollars a day.

I just heard that they are shutting down their lottery until they balance the budget. That will save a lot of money too. The state won't have to pay all those sales commissions to the ticket sellers, and won't have to pay out all those lottery jackpots.

Yes, I'm sure there are no NJ Republicans associated with this.

Re: Atlantic City Closing on Wed.
 

If you read the article it seems that there are no republicans invololved...I am non partisan but it is obvious that you threw that in just to try to bait republicans here. It is democrats that are in the majority in both houses in NJ and are letting this happen.

What is killing me is that there is probably roughly a 1 to 1000 ratio of Casino gaming commission employees to casino employees and because of Corzine pulling the comission members those thousands are going to go without pay. The regular state employee will get paid back lost wages while those that work on tips and such are never going to recoup their lost wages...

No way the casinos will be shut down. What else is there to do in NJ besides AC? Thats like shutting down Wally World or something.

Re: Atlantic City Closing on Wed.
