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.
How is not giving purse supplements screwing the horsemen? Since when is making a business stand on it two feet a bad thing. He made a mistake by giving money to the casino, but at least he did compound it by giving to the horsemen too.
