If I’m a resident of Philadelphia, why would I have to drive 2 hours to play a game of blackjack?
Why not was put a casino in Camden, Monmouth and the Meadowlands? You know, like, where the people are. Idiot.

Please explain to me how Christie in his first year of office was getting anything done without the cooperation of the senate presidents approval. Last time I looked he was a republican in a heavily dominated senate and assembly by the opposing party. Lets throw in Sweeney is from south Jersey do you really think he cares about Secaucus?

Camden? REALLY??? Camden? Do you really think you could get one corporation to invest in a casino LOCATED IN CAMDEN??? May be its convenient for you but he would be impeached if a dollar from state funds was invested there for gambling purposes. My hunch is nine out of ten potential customers would drive up to an additional thirty miles to avoid going there.
Camden Ranks Most Dangerous City In The Country

I will admit he has made mistakes but has the guts to try something other states are scared stiff of attempting. How many states let you play poker without driving to a proposed (yours) casino in Camden. He is trying to get sports wagering up and running despite opposition from the feds. Delaware just packed up their bags and quit after the Supreme Court ruled against them.
Why does Monmouth get a casino (again your idea) before Middlesex? They have almost 200,000 more residents. Monmouth barely edges out faster growing Ocean why should they be discriminated against? Why didn't you suggest Newark since you bravely put Camden in the discussion.
