TRENTON, N.J. -- Gov. James McGreevey's plan to hike casino taxes failed when the measure died Sunday. It was stalled in a Senate committee as the Legislature approved the $23.4 billion state budget.
McGreevey's plan to require casinos to pay sales taxes on complimentary rooms, meals and other freebies given to gamblers would have raised $33 million.
