Two New Casinos in Northern New Jersey Just West of Manhattan Still Being Debate

State lawmakers still cannot agree on how to ask voters whether to allow two new casinos in Northern New Jersey.

Both the Senate and Assembly committees met on Monday to discuss their amended bills but significant differences remain between the two including who is eligible to build the new casinos and how the new tax revenue they generate would be divvied up.

A Senate committee required that a company that gets a license for one of the new casinos must complete it within a certain time frame. And an Assembly committee added money for municipalities and counties that house the new casinos and changed its tax allocation formula.

The two bills must be reconciled, or the legislature must choose one to put before voters. They do not specify locations for the casinos, but the most commonly mentioned proposals involve Jersey City and the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford.
