  • Krista Jenkins 973.443.8390; [email protected] MURPHY, GUADAGNO HA
    For immediate release Thursday, February 9 3 pages Contact: Krista Jenkins 973.443.8390; [email protected] 11111111 MURPHY, GUADAGNO HAVE EARLY LEAD IN GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARY, BUT MOST VOTERS BEGIN THE CAMPAIGN UNSURE Fairleigh Dickinson University, February 9, 2017 – Although most Democrats and Republicans in the state have no clue who they intend to support in the gubernatorial primaries, a few frontrunners are emerging. The most recent statewide survey of registered voters from Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind finds Phil Murphy in the lead among Democrats and Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno at the top among Republicans. Murphy’s 17 percent support among Democrats is the same as that registered for “someone else.” Among other named Democrats, State Senator Raymond Lesniak earns the support of seven percent, Assemblyman John Wisniewski garners six percent, and former Treasury official Jim Johnson comes in with two percent. Collectively, however, these names are eclipsed by the uncertainty that most Democrats express with 50 percent saying they don’t know who they like at this point. “Murphy has pumped a bundle of his own money into this race and received early endorsements from power brokers across the state as well as raised a considerable sum from donors. His lead over other long term public officeholders seems to be an indication that his investment was well spent. Still, the field is fluid and a majority are taking a wait and see approach to who will be their party’s standard bearer in the race to replace Governor Christie,” said Krista Jenkins, professor of political science and director of PublicMind.

  • Kesarev Memo | Ukraine Gambling Law | July 2020
    Kesarev 42-44, Shovkovychna Street, office 318 Kyiv, UA-01004, Ukraine +38.094.710-02-59 [email protected] UKRAINE’S PARLIAMENT REVOKES 2009 BAN ON GAMBLING On July 14, the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine lifted the ban on gambling by adopting the draft law “On state regulation of activities in the organization and conduct of gambling” (2285d) in the second reading and as a whole. The introduction of the ban in 2009 had not lead to the disappearance of gambling, but instead simply created “grey” and “black” gambling markets in Ukraine, amidst growing criminalization (the gambling business was bypassing prohibition by using gaps in legislation. Various types of gambling were acting under the guise of forms allowed by the legislation, primarily lotteries and similar betting games). Background The drive for the legalization of gambling had been signposted as part of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenelsky’s economic plan. After his election in mid-2019, Zenelsky had promised to legalize the gambling business in order to secure additional budget revenue. The adopted law reflects the compromise reached between the State and market players who were actively engaged in the development of this legislative initiative and its improvement. Key Provisions of the Law The newly adopted law creates the legal basis for the State regulation of economic activity in the field of organization and holding of gambling in Ukraine, and determines the legal, economic, social and organizational conditions for the functioning of gambling. In particular, the law provides for: • an exclusive list of activities in the field of gambling that are allowed in Ukraine, including: o organization and holding of games of chance in casinos and gambling establishments; o organization and holding of games of chance by casinos online; o organization and holding of betting activity in bookmakers’ facilities and online; o organization and holding of games of chance in slot machines halls; o organization and holding of games of chance in poker online.
