Fines Suspended for Bowling Alleys Cited for

Violating State Raffles Licensing Law




NEWARK - The $3,000 penalty levied against each of 59 bowling alleys cited for conducting 50/50 raffles in violation of the Raffles Licensing Law and its enacting regulations has been suspended and will not be collected.

The Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission (LGCCC), which regulates raffles and bowling alleys, today voted at its monthly meeting to suspend the fines and instead issue warning letters to each bowling alley. The $3,000 fine, which is less than half the maximum $7,500 fine that the LGCCC could have imposed, will be returned to those who have already paid and not be collected from the other facilities.

The LGCCC also will conduct outreach to ensure bowling alley operators understand the raffles law.

Under state law (N.J.S.A. 5:8-51), veterans organizations, religious congregations, charities, and civic and service clubs may hold raffles in addition to educational and fraternal organizations, senior citizen associations and clubs, volunteer fire companies and volunteer first aid rescue squads.

LGCCC investigators went to all 73 bowling alleys in New Jersey between September, 2008 and January, 2009. Each bowling alley was inspected at least twice. The bowling alleys cited sold or allowed the selling of 50/50 raffle tickets to both league players and the general public.




Bullshit, all of it. Somebody must have hired a lawyer that could beat them in court, or had absolute evidence of entrapment. NO WAY the government is going to forgo $177,000 in fines. And the last line in the press release above is a crock too. I am 100% positive that my alley did not sell a single “raffle ticket” to any non-league member of the “general public”. Non of the leagues even let the substitute bowlers play. These games are entirely inside the league.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
