He said the Third Circuit opinion “may not have foreclosed all legal avenues for permitting sports wagering within the state.” This may be a secret wink to the Republicans in the NJ legislature not to vote to override because we will look into a better way (Which of course is ridiculous, as NJ has done everything they could thru the legal process). Should be interesting.
I've already sent a tweet to Senator Jennifer Beck, who represents the Monmouth Park district and told her to stand up for her district and vote to override the veto. Also told her to tell her fellow Republican constituents to do the same. I'm gonna sent a tweet out to all Republican Senators and Assemblymen and tell them to do the same. Probably won't matter, as they are more afraid of Christie's wrath than the citizens they represent.

Good luck with Kyrillos he'll do whatever Christie tells him. When the Monmouth crisis started I wrote him a detailed letter why as a Monmouth county representative he should be on the tracks side. His reply was to back Christie 1000% (yes 1000!!!) I'm pretty sure its still in one of my folders. This was before he ran for governor his position isn't changing now.
I despise Kryllios so much I switched to an independent after being a registered republican for over twenty years.
I applaud your effort on behalf of the tracks but at this point (my opinion) tweets only go so far, now its time for lengthy letter writing mode. You need to show "passion" about the subject not 140 characters.
On the positive side Jennifer Beck is as good at it gets. She fights for the horse people and the track she isn't a Christie lemming. I would hope they can do a redistrict and somehow she becomes my senator. Its never going to happen but at least I can dream about having adequate representation.
