New Jersey lawmaker wants voters’ education on North Jersey casino plan

North Jersey casino supporters is set to launch its latest weapon to counter the bombardment of massive, anti-casino ads in New Jersey: Education.

NJ.com reported that State Assemblyman and casino expansion proponent Ralph Caputo has introduced a resolution on Thursday, which aims to educate the electorate on plans to expand casino gambling to the northern part of New Jersey.

Anti-casino groups are winning so far in the PR wars over New Jersey casino expansion. Recent polls conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University shows that the majority is cool to the idea of allowing more casinos in the state.

New Jersey residents, which will troop to the polling precincts this November, have raised concerns on how much money would the state see when casinos are built in North Jersey and how much casino operators will pay in taxes.
