In East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Meadowlands sports complex will be hosting the second of three gaming summits.
Today’s hearing is aimed at helping shape the future of both the casino and the horse-racing industries in the state.
Many feel that the casino debate in New Jersey has become a battle between the northern and southern parts of the state.
Today, democratic leaders, horseman and racing association officials as well as the members of the construction industry look to unify the state.
“Gaming in New Jersey supports tens of thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of revenues from North to South, East to West,” said Sen. Ray Lesniak. “If we fail to maximize the potential of all our gaming locations, there will be no winners, just losers.”
Lesniak went on to say that his, as well as other leaders goals are to produce a win for every one.
