GAMING TOP COP FOR NEW JERSEY NAMED
Pledge to "aggressively monitor" Atlantic City gambling scene
The retirement last month of the long-serving Director of Gaming Enforcement for New Jersey, Thomas Auriemma led to the announcement this week of Yvonne G. Maher as his acting successor.
Ms. Maher (45) is an assistant attorney general and veteran prosecutor for the state, and was assigned to the Casino Protection Bureau in the Division of Criminal Justice for more than four years, prosecuting casino-related criminal cases.
She previously worked as an assistant Atlantic County prosecutor for two years.
"I pledge that we will continue to aggressively monitor the health and integrity of the casino gambling industry in Atlantic City," she said in statement following her appointment.
