Voters agreed to let as many as seven Las Vegas-style casinos open in New York, approved an increase to the minimum wage in New Jersey and set a tax on the legal sale of recreational marijuana in Colorado.
The statewide ballot questions were among 31 decided in six states across the U.S. yesterday. The measures focused on issues related to business, taxes and borrowing, a break from recent years in which social issues such as abortion and gay marriage were put to referendums.
