New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has announced stricter guidelines to help his state battle rising Covid-19 infection rates. With restaurants now forced to close at 10:00pm, casinos in Atlantic City are expressing concerns that they will have to pay for someone else’s problem.

Murphy announced the new rules on Monday. “To be clear, the last thing I want to do or any of us want to do is to shut our economy back down, and thankfully, we are not at that point,” Murphy said during a briefing. “No one up here wants to take the type of broad and all-encompassing actions like those we had to take in March. We are acting with more precision-based actions on what we are seeing on the ground.”

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle aren’t happy with the decision. “Businesses in South Jersey are hurting. New blanket restrictions are not what we wanted to hear today,” wrote Assemblyman Vince Mazzeo, a fellow Democrat. “These new restrictions were put in place due to soring North Jersey COVID cases.”

Republican State Senator Michael Testa, saw it similarly, calling Murphy’s so called “surgical approach” more like someone wielding an ax, and “a destructive overreaction.”
