FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 17, 2016

With Lost Jobs & Education Cuts Front & Center, Opposition To Question One Builds As Election Day Approaches

Newark, NJ – Trenton’s Bad Bet has launched a new television advertisement highlighting the anticipated negative economic impact expanded casino gaming would bring to New Jersey. The referendum to expand casino gaming into the northern part of the state will be addressed in Question One on the November ballot.

Taking nothing for granted in the final weeks leading up to the November vote, Trenton’s Bad Bet continues to maintain its strong presence on the airwaves with messages highlighting Trenton’s history of broken promises and poor management. The new ad will begin airing on Monday, October 17 in the New York City media market, encouraging residents in New Jersey to vote no on Question One.

Script:

We can’t trust Trenton politicians on North Jersey casinos.

Here’s what they’re not telling you…

Thirty thousand Jersey jobs gone.

Two billion dollars of economic losses.

Big cuts to our kid’s schools.

Big cuts to our roads and highways.

And big increases in our property taxes.

Don’t let Trenton politicians stick us with another bad deal and another broken promise…

We can’t afford it.

Vote no on North Jersey casinos.

Vote no on Question One.
