The Record from Hackensack, New Jersey • A3

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2013 THE RECORD A-3 STATE NEWS New mayor strictly 'old-school' states lend support to First Latino leader of Newark says he shuns social media has increased deadly violence. In a brief interview, in which the 53-year-old Puerto Rican native arrived an hour late amid a whirlwind day, Quintana said that addressing crime will be one of his top priorities. Quintana was named mayor by a unanimous municipal council that met in emergency session Monday after the resignation last week of Booker, who won a special election to the U.S. Senate. The council vote, initially scheduled for the day Booker was sworn in as senator, was delayed after an earlier council meeting had to be canceled for lack of a quorum.

The new mayor, whose term runs through July 1, said he has no plans to keep the job but will seek reelection to the council when the city holds its general elections in May. Born in Anasco, Puerto Rico, Quintana has been a council member since 1994. He moved to Newark with his family at age 8, graduating from Barringer High School in the city's North Ward. A graduate of Seton Hall University, he is married to a Newark schoolteacher and has three grown children. By TED SHERMAN THE STAR-LEDGER He doesn't Tweet.

"I don't Twit. I don't Twitter. I don't have a computer," said Newark Mayor Luis Quintana, who was sworn in Monday to take the reins of the state's largest city. Unlike high-profile predecessor Cory Booker -who famously has more than 1.4 million followers on Twitter and chronicles his life with constant updates Quintana said he eschews social media and does not respond to emails, which he called a distraction. "I'm an old-school politician," said the former municipal council president.

"I return calls. I know neighborhoods. I know Mrs. Lopez." KAITLIN McGUINNESSNEWARK PRESS Luis Quintana, sworn in Monday, offers a stark contrast to predecessor Cory Booker. And just hours into his new job, Quintana, Newark's first Latino mayor, promised changes to those neighborhoods pledging to get more police officers onto the streets of the state's largest city in response to a growing crime problem that Former Rutgers football coach is eager to sell Christie bid for betting 4 back rehearing by U.S.

court By JOHN BRENNAN STAFF WRITER Four states on Monday reiterated their formal support for Governor Christie's efforts last week to gain a rehearing of a sports betting lawsuit at the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. That court in September, by a 2-1 majority, upheld a U.S. District Court judge's ruling earlier this year that New Jersey's sports betting law is overridden by a 1992 federal law prohibiting such gambling in 46 states. State officials in Virginia, West Virginia, Kansas and Georgia as they did before the prior ruling -offered their support for the philosophical stance offered by New Jersey while expressing no opinion on the merits of sports betting.

Christie and his allies who include the state's thoroughbred horsemen and state Senate President Stephen Sweeney argue that the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 violates the U.S. Constitution because it "commandeers" the states' authority into not being allowed to offer the gambling. The New Jersey law would permit the betting at Atlantic City casinos and the state's horse racing trades. "Congress may enact generally applicable federal rules of decision that supersede contrary state law, but cannot 'commandeer' a state's authority by telling it how to regulate its own citizens," wrote renowned attorney Ted Olson on behalf of New Jersey. "The supposed 'problem' of state-sanctioned sports wagering is not rationally addressed by a statute that categorically excludes the states (e.g., Nevada) that manifest that Olson added.

Aside from Nevada continuing to be able to offer widespread sports betting, the law sponsored at the time by U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey also allowed Delaware, Montana and Oregon to continue to offer the more limited betting those states already had offered. The law gave one state New Jersey -one year to implement a sports betting law, but the state Legislature did not act on that option.

The "Fire Schiano" billboards popping up in Tampa Bay have not dissuaded Schiano from wanting to unload his New Jersey house, according to his real estate agent. "He still wants to sell it. I talked to By KELLY HEYBOER THE STAR-LEDGER It doesn't look as if former Rutgers University football coach Greg Schi-ano has any plans to move back to his old house in Piscataway if he is fired from his NFL job. Schiano recently dropped the price for the third time on his house near Rutgers' football stadium, his real estate agent said. The house, originally listed for $2.3 million 19 months ago, is now available for $1,595 million.

"It definitely would be a bargain at the price it is now. It's less than it cost to build it," said Schiano's agent, Jerry Kienlen of Kienlen Lattmann Sotheby's International Realty in Basking Ridge. Schiano left Rutgers in January 2012 to take a job as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But, with the Florida team struggling with an 0-8 record this season, there has been him as early as last week," Kienlen said. Schiano did not respond to a request to comment made through the Buccaneers media office.

Schiano dropped the price Oct. 28, a few days after he reportedly met with Tampa Bay's owners and told his team he would remain head coach. Under an unusual deal, Rutgers University helped finance the construction of Schiano's custom-built house on Logan Lane, across Route 18 from Rutgers' football stadium. In 2006, the state university sold Schiano a parcel of land that was once part of the school's ecological reserve, then JENNIFER BROWNSPECIAL TO THE RECORD The home has been on the market for months. gave him a no-interest $800,000 loan coach.
