This is the bad idea that never dies. The issue of approving legal casino gambling in Northern New Jersey has been the source of multiple referendums and other schemes (over many years) to try and bring this about. It has failed each and every time that it has been attempted.
Here we go, again. A recent POLITICO New Jersey report confirms that state legislators have once again introduced legislation seeking a constitutional amendment to allow casinos in North Jersey.
This requires voter approval. The voters have never given the approval required to achieve this goal.
In Southern New Jersey, this issue typically galvanizes both Republicans and Democrats.
