New Jersey lawmakers miss deadline for casino expansion ballot measure
New Jersey lawmakers missed the deadline to place a casino expansion proposal on the November ballot. The proposal would allow casinos at Meadowlands Racetrack and Monmouth Park, meaning voters cannot consider it until at least 2027; the source reports opposition from Atlantic City lawmakers and supporters’ arguments for keeping gambling revenue in the state.
The delay postpones any voter decision on expanding casino locations in New Jersey until at least 2027.
