The writer is not "saving" AC gambling issue but its prescription is totally to destroy AC so the new casinos in NY can survive.

The academicians - from Stockton State College, to a the mid West and to Las Vegas - are good only in theories - I suggest AC officials should create a commission form group - invite Steve Wynn and the other casino executives with the civic and community leaders and the academician armed with their in-depth research findings - study, talk and discuss possible ways and means and their recommendations to the AC and NJ gov.

I have not heard yet the academicians - business and economics professor who have conducting research on AC casino.

Stockton came up with the idea of getting one casino from the 4 to open a satellite campus - this makes me laugh, as Atlantic Community College l opened up an extension across the Post Office. These advocates should be given a tour in Philadelphia small colleges with big beautiful buildings - once you are inside you can hear a pin drop - ideal and conducive to higher education.

Converting the casinos and hotels with them to classroom, dormitories and small family hotels according to one advocate say will be good to go back to the old AC before the casinos.

Forcing them to light in the evening - and again as one advocate said - "look at Las Vegas" most presentation are done at nights with the lights on the casinos, signage and facade - you know what they are seeing the pending problems with an eye of a nocturnal inserts who gets attracted to lights - for what reason are the lights - so to impress the Boardwalker to come back, again and again. Little they know how to save the current situation.

Wynn cited - the corruptions of the earlier local officials and according to Donald Trump they built the Convention in another location far from the Boardwalk - these are just some of the factors contributing to the present situation, of course consider the economic downturn in 2008 present situation.

Piece meal solutions at a time or a grand design total approach from all aspects of business strategy which is better?

Are you aware of how the home owners are being driven out of Atlantic City? Take a look at the property taxes. Most people inside AC are transient workers at the casino with enough monthly income to meet two ends meet with some loop overlapping one end maybe. Once the casino close down - they move back to where they came from.

Very interesting to follow AC casino problem.

How many of our NJ chippers live in AC?
