Just ask all the New Jerseyites how great Atlantic City has been for us -- NOT! The casinos were supposed to take care of education, seniors' medical prescriptions, and reduce property taxes. NJ has the highest property taxes in the nation. Since the casinos went in during the 1970's our sales tax has risen from 3% to 6% and in 2006 to 7%. Our local property taxes have gone up 7% each year for the past few years as just reported in the newspaper. All Atlantic City has done is raise the crime level and given the casino owners and the SOPRANOS bigger bankrolls.

I recently read an article about the strain put on local police and other services in the CT towns near Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. NO THANKS!
