Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4087610, member: 1646"] I'm a bit surprised, but the referendum failed in NJ. The current law doesn't allow wagering on college sport competitions in state or games featuring N.J.-based college teams. The referendum would have removed those exceptions, but the state voted no pretty overwhelmingly (57 to 43). Maybe the bookies rallied their market. But we love our bingo, raffles and 50/50s. The other question passed easily. The Constitution is amended to permit all groups that are allowed to conduct bingo or raffles to use the net proceeds from those games to support their groups. Currently, only veterans and senior citizen groups may use the net proceeds from those games to support their groups. All other groups that are permitted to conduct bingo or raffles may only use the proceeds from those games for certain purposes. I'm sure that law was followed and enforced. [/QUOTE]
