New York Times: States Addicted to Gambling
The New York Times featuring a report Monday regarding individual states desire to boost their economies through gambling, New Jersey included.
New Jersey governor Chris Christie last week announced a decision for the state to take over struggling gambling destination Atlantic City.

Not only has the town suffered from a downturn in the economy but neighboring states have recently provided stiffer competition.
