"at the time of the bids, it didn’t have the necessary funding for its bid."

"At the time of the bids"... There are 1600 people who are losing their jobs! I don't see the harm in granting Sobe a re-hearing! The governor stepped in for Revel, lining up investors and granting tax breaks to get the place built and open. He could do the same for Atlantic Club (if he wanted to). Good PR for his presidential bid?
