Lesniak willing to drop online gambling proposal

[The Buzz]

New Jersey Sen. Ray Lesniak, the most vocal proponent of online gambling regulation in the Garden State, told the Associated Press yesterday that he would drop Internet gaming provisions from a new sports betting law in order to get Gov. Chris Christie to sign it.

From the Press of Atlantic City:

Lesniak says it's important to pass a law authorizing sports betting — even without Internet or phone betting — so the state can quickly ask a court to overturn a federal ban on sports betting.

"I am willing to not include it in the bill, only because I want to get into court as soon as possible to have the federal law declared unconstitutional," he said.
