Borgata partner draws concern

One of the co-owners of Atlantic City's top casino could be forced to sell its 50 percent stake as a result of concerns by New Jersey officials over alleged organized crime ties of its partner in a Chinese casino venture.

What the heck is the difference we have a political organized crime running the state and Atlantic City. Sounds like the politicians may be jealous they are not in on it. In this state it is and always has been Pay to Play.

Atlantic City may be a resort, but it's also a "city" like thousands of others in the country with its mix of the good, the bad and the ugly. Sounds like you don't get out much.

You're right about government corruption in NJ and AC, but the casino industry is about as clean as any other, anywhere. Most other, newer gaming juridictions have modeled their regulatory systems after NJ/AC, less so after Vegas.

If you remember the OLD AC before the casinos like I do. You MUST agree it is 100% better since the casinos moved in before that half the boardwalk was boarded up Hotels were ALL closed , the boardwalk was falling apart and full of bums sleeping on all the benches.

Guess I'm there every day as a matter of fact. And I don't concentrate on labeling people. If I did, I would still see that the majority are "normal," although perhaps not by your standards.
