Senate President Steve Sweeney spoke yesterday before a luncheon at the Greater Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce. Here's a sampling of his comments including one directied at the recent threat by Governor Christie to go back on a campaign promise opposing VLT's outside of Atlantic City unless they made changes after a recent critical audit:

"I can tell you, I'm not posting a VLT bill for anywhere outside of Atlantic City,"
"Threatening VLTs, he has to deal with me with that, and I've already told you, it ain't happening,"

I don't think the Governor could do VLT's by executive order, so he might want to have a word with Senator Sweeney.

VLT's actually a good thing for NJ (0.00 / 0)

Do you want to compete with NY, PA and CT or just let gambling $ and jobs leave the state?

Horse Racing and breeding is dying in NJ because we failed to keep up with reality and the Jones's (Delaware, PA, New York) who now offer better purses and quality racing than NJ.

When I was actively racing, I sent my horses to Ontario because purses were better and expenses lower. I kept my horses eligible to Ontario races with stake payments which made the races more attractive. It was simple economics that overrode my passion and joy for being here with my horses!
