If the casinos shut down, the state would lose an estimated $2 million in tax revenue each day they stayed closed. Republican Assemblyman Francis Blee, whose district includes the casinos, said it was important for them to remain open. Corzine is a moron.

Oh my God, the deer hunters in South Jersey are going to be finding more skeletons than normal in the Pine Barrens this winter.

All over NYC, Philadelphia and Trenton, little old ladies are clutching their hearts and their cartons of cigarettes and hoping this is just some kind of sick rumor.

About 45,000 state employees were furloughed Saturday. Corzine's order allows him to keep 36,000 state employees working without pay. Once settled all these employees will be paid even if they didn't work, I'd wager.

He's playing hard arse!
Frankly I don't care how long government shuts down.
In fact I think TAX PAYERS should get REFUNDS for the SHUTDOWN when this monstrosity called "government" starts up again.
Corzine is just looking for attention and wants to be n the headlines as the "big man". In reality he is just another demoncrat having a hissy fit in NOT getting his 7% sales tax to FUND MORE SOCIAL PROGRAMS.

Will Jim McGreevey srill have access to the rest stop bathrooms along the NJ Turnpike?

Once settled all these employees will be paid even if they didn't work, I'd wager. Probably. That's what happened when the federal government shut down. They all got extra paid vacation.

Who controls the State Legislature? Is it safe to assume the the democRATS do?
To: wagglebee
Let me see if I've got this right -- You're in the red on your budget so you close down the lottery and the casinos, two of the things in the state that bring in money?? (I also think they're going to lose a lot more tax income than just the direct taxes on the casinos. I'd expect that a lot of hotels, restaurants, and other tourist spots will lose business with the casinos closed.)

Well I can guarantee Atlantic County has gone red. A hell of a lot of casino workers are going to be missing a paycheck next week.

excellent. The scourge of gambling needs to be stopped. If it takes a budget crisis, so be it.
