AMODEO AND POLISTINA CALL ON GOVERNOR TO MAKE

CASINO JOB GROWTH A STIMULUS PRIORITY

 

NORTHFIELD – In a letter to Governor Jon Corzine, Assemblymen John Amodeo and Vince Polistina requested that the state direct federal stimulus money towards facilitating casino job growth.

            “With the inevitability of federal stimulus money, New Jersey must start investing in the Atlantic City region,”  said Amodeo.  “Putting infrastructure money in this region will pay off more in jobs, tax revenue, and benefits for seniors and disabled than in any other place in the state.”

            “There is about $15 billion dollars of private capital sitting on the sidelines waiting to be invested in Atlantic City.  The stimulus money will leverage that capital if the state makes a commitment to Atlantic City,”  said Polistina. 

            The assemblymen cite research which indicated that for every casino job created, another job is created in another region of the state. 

            “That fact alone proves that the casino industry is the true economic engine of the state,” said Amodeo.  “It is in the entire state’s best interest to provide the resources necessary for Atlantic City to succeed as a destination resort.” 

            “We have an opportunity at this moment to map out a comprehensive legislative and regulatory approach to jump start the one industry that can revive the state’s economy,”  said Polistina.
