It's Christie digging his heels in again if you ask me. I mean, what do they say when the Feds approach the State's Attorney's Office to create joint task forces? (which happens all the time)


You are exactly right on that, and like the article states no casino would go ahead and start a book because christie says because the feds still say it is illegal....christie should just take it to the ballots in november

but unlike the neighborhood bookie there is so much government bureaucracy that once the vote is a yea, then it won't be up and running for a good year. Government rocks all around.


It was already voted. And the voters said yes. However the feds blocked it.
