In New York, the Governor called me a year or two before and told me the only way to make it pass is to make it transparent. He was exactly right. New York made it totally transparent and it passed easily. In Jersey, it was totally non-transparent and there weren?t enough details, and that made it impossible to pass. In the next go-round if they?re not going to pass the enabling legislation first I?m going to tell them not to bother.? Should efforts to get a casino at the Meadowlands fail in 2018, Gural said the focus will then turn towards trying to get casinos in New Jersey once they arrive in the New York City area. In 2013, New York voters approved a referendum to allow for casino expansion in the state. (Due to the voters? approval, Gural?s Tioga Downs was allowed to convert from a slots parlor to a full-fledged casino). However, the new laws put a moratorium on building any casinos in the New York City area for seven years. Gural believes voters won?t be able to deny North Jersey casinos if there is one in New York City. ?It?s going to be very hard for anyone to argue that Northern New Jersey shouldn?t at least make an effort to compete with casinos in New York City and Westchester County,? he said.

In his 15th year of consideration from the Baseball Writers Association of America, the longtime Tiger legend once again fell short of the 75% needed for induction to Cooperstown, earning 40.9% of the vote. “It’s flattering and honoring just to be talked about it,” Trammell said recently. “And I know that as a player, I could hold my own.” Two players were inducted by the writers this evening: Centerfielder Ken Griffey, Jr., with 99.3% of the vote and catcher Mike Piazza, with 83%.
