Pressure is building on state lawmakers to agree on a ballot question to put before voters asking whether to approve two new casinos in northern New Jersey.
It's no longer such a sure thing that New Jersey voters will be asked in November whether to approve two new casinos in the northern part of the state.
Companies that do not already own an Atlantic City casino would be able to vie for one of two new casinos to be built in northern New Jersey under a plan unveiled Monday by the state Assembly.
As New Jersey lawmakers craft a ballot question that would ask voters next year if casino gambling should be allowed in the northern half of the state, one expert is betting on the move as an economic boom for NJ.
