After several leading fellow Democrat elected officials have expressed frustration in recent days over a lack of specifics from Gov. Phil Murphy about timelines for various reopenings, the New Jersey governor on Sunday offered a target date for Atlantic City’s casino industry for the first time.
“It’s probably still too early to give you a very specific answer, but there’s a lot of work going into that right now,” Murphy told South Jersey radio station WOND. “But we are trying like heck to get toward, I hope, before the Fourth of July or at least by the Fourth of July to be in a position where we can say, you know what, subject to a lot of different parameters, the casinos can be open again.”
