New Jersey lawmakers pause Atlantic City casino tax talks
New Jersey lawmakers and the governor’s office have paused discussions on extending Atlantic City’s casino property-tax programme, state Senator Vince Polistina said. The programme expires at the end of 2026; talks slowed amid the governor’s proposed online gambling tax increases and Atlantic County’s lawsuit over the programme’s tax calculation.
The pause leaves the future of Atlantic City casinos’ collective property-tax arrangement unresolved ahead of its 2026 expiry.
