I wasn't referring to the issue of gaming going to a particular area within a county.
Counties are, to a large extent, controlled by state law. That's why I said, "States should think twice about building their economies on a house of cards."
There's an article on this: "New Jersey Governor To Take control over State Gambling Industry." Governor Christ Christie of New Jersey is at the stage where he will need to make an important decision regarding the future of gambling in the state.
Counties don't control the state, the state controls the counties.
