Christie nixes online gaming as US bill looms

NJ Gov. Chris Christie’s stunning veto yesterday of a bill to legalize local online gambling means residents of the Garden State won’t be able to play craps from their living room for at least a year unless a similar federal bill due next month legalizes it first. After weeks of suspense, Christie said he vetoed the first in the country legislation for “legal and constitutional concerns,” a potential snag, which critics claimed he was aware of for a full year. http://nyp.st/ejAwIO
