Columbus, OH — New Jersey lawmakers have advanced a bill that would allow the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which currently runs both The Meadowlands and Monmouth Park, to help operate The Big M for a one-year transition period, should a deal be reached between the state and Jeff Gural for the lease of the track.
