Robert Goren we have gone down this road many times, the horseman cut a deal with the casinos to keep the VLT's from popping up at the racetracks and cutting into the profits the casinos make. The casinos feared once the VLT's were in table games weren't too far behind. You are too critical of the horseman and not of the casino owners who have a constitution protecting them in NJ from the spread of casino style gaming to anywhere else in the state. The tax incentives the casinos received have also been on the "are you kidding me" who decided this debate. Did you ever wonder who wrote that into the constitution? Guess....
