New Jersey senators seek voter decision on casino expansion beyond Atlantic City
New Jersey senators Vin Gopal and Paul Sarlo are backing a concurrent resolution that would let voters decide whether casinos can operate at the state’s two racetracks. Gopal said expansion could help the state respond to competition from planned New York City casinos; the group South Jersey Forward opposes casinos outside Atlantic City.
A voter decision could determine whether New Jersey permits casino expansion beyond Atlantic City to its racetracks.
