Meadowlands owner Jeff Gural is in more of a hurry, telling the newspaper that an estimated $400 million or more in annual tax revenue is needed now. “We’re offering to pay a high tax rate, around 50 percent, just like Pennsylvania,” Gural said. “I know there are people who think we’d just be building ‘slots in a box,’ but this is a spectacular project and I want them to see what we have in mind.” The complete casino plan, including a video and renderings, will be presented a public press conference on Wednesday. According to Gural, the casino would be attached to the two-year-old grandstand at Meadowlands.

Jeff Gural...you are the best of the best!

can't wait!
