Rutgers $25 million lottery win: maybe tomorrow?

Money makes the world go round....and builds stuff. Like a basketball practice facility. A vote tentatively set for Monday in the New Jersey legislature could mean big things for Rutgers.

Rutgers alum and supporter, state senator Ray Lesniak, sponsored a bill in the state legislature that would provide tax credits for the construction of "certain infrastructure at Rutgers". This has been billed as the centerpiece in getting the basketball practice facility off the ground. And it appears to be on the verge of becoming reality.

The bill, S2880, was first introduced in the state Senate nine months ago.
