The Trump ‘brand’ is going South in Jersey with liquor…..
The office of New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal, which sent the letter, declined to comment about the letter. Grewal was appointed in 2018 by Gov. Phil Murphy (D).
The letter gives few details about the alleged misconduct by Trump’s course. The man that the club is accused of over-serving — Andrew G. Halder — caused a wreck that killed his own father and last year pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide.
Trump’s company was given 30 days to challenge the planned revocation. If the state’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control does decide to revoke the license, Trump can challenge that decision in court or try to get it reinstated in two years.
The Trump Organization did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
If the club’s liquor license is revoked, that would be a blow for the Colts Neck course, located near the Jersey Shore. The club could lose significant revenue from the two restaurants and a bar it operates for members, and find it hard to attract banquets or golf tournaments from outsiders.
But for Trump, the potential damage is greater than that.
Under New Jersey law, anyone who has one liquor license revoked must also give up all their other liquor licenses for two years. Trump has two other New Jersey golf clubs, including one in Bedminster that he uses as a summer White House.
Now, he could be faced with losing a key source of revenue at those clubs, too….
Just host it at the Bada Bing Club.
That’s right by Colts Neck from what I remember.
For (mostly) Corey,
No. the Bada Bing Club (I don’t recall its non-Sopranos name) is actually located in Lodi NJ, (northern NJ) while Colts Neck is in Southern NJ.
I still haven’t bought a home in NJ because I still am not committed to living here long term, but one of my favorite towns that I would consider is Nutley NJ. Nutley has a large Italian population, and has a mafia presence. So the Sapranos wanted to film in the town, but the city wouldn’t let them because it was afraid it would hurt its reputation. My co-worker (and friend) lives in Nutley and he has some good stories of Jimmy the Boot who resides in Nutley and can sometimes be seen at an Italian Restaurant there. The locals know not to disturb Jimmy the Boot while eating.
Lastly, if you ever visit northern NJ, I am told there is a tour package where you can visit some of the sites featured on the Sopranos. I often think of the Sopranos when I drive on the Pulaski highway to work.
