Default Governor, flunky seek to dismantle Jersey racing

Replacing this green glory with suburban homes may appeal to Hanson, a real estate magnate, but it is despicable and inexcusable action for two governmental leaders in the nation’s most densely populated state, based on people per square mile.

It is unconscionable kowtowing to casino interests who are regarded by many as the surrogate rulers of New Jersey. Their influence in Trenton, the state capital, is beyond question, and what makes this agricultural disaster so disgraceful is that there is a clear way out, without harm to any of the parties – horsemen, casinos or the state – and has been from the start.
