Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson is calling a ruling this week by the New Jersey Superior Court’s Appellate Division to vacate two previous decisions in the PILOT lawsuit, “a travesty.”
The Appellate Court did not disagree with the earlier decisions of Judge Joseph Marczyck and Judge Michael Blee that found the State of New Jersey had violated a 2018 Consent Settlement regarding casinos payments to Atlantic County in lieu of taxes, noted Levinson. “It only questioned the process.” Levinson labeled it another tactic to delay an inevitable decision.
