It would appear that The New Jersey State Legislature has not resolved a budget agreement yet. So the Guv'nor did the clearly logical thing. "Ah feck it! Let's shutdown the whole damn thing!" Jon Corzine wants to raise sales taxes (American VAT equivalent) but strangely enough those who answer to the voters are not too keen. So, Jon pulled a largescale version of the old playground "If I can't play, I'm taking my ball and NO ONE's gonna play!"

By shutting down goverment, the state casino monitors are not on duty ergo the casinos can't operate whilst the guv'ment is shutdown.

All you can say is "What a Country!"
