>N.J. Gov. Christie plans takeover of Atlantic City casino district, sale of Meadowlands Racetrack
Gov. Chris Christie will announce plans for an unprecedented overhaul of New Jersey’s troubled gaming industry Wednesday — including a complete takeover of the Atlantic City casino and entertainment district, and the sell-off or shutdown of the struggling Meadowlands Racetrack. The Atlantic City takeover removes virtually all local control from the gaming district, from police protection to garbage pickup. (Margolin/Sherman, The Star Ledger)
