George Zoffinger Quotations

Now the Jets feel as if they are second-class citizens in this stadium deal. They want to be true partners on all aspects of any business plan.

I believe that in a position like mine, you cannot take party into consideration, ... I don't care about any of that.

Frankly, in New Jersey if you were to exclude everybody that had any kind of potential conflict you would be excluding a lot of people,

If an elected governor asked me to leave, I would leave - and if he asked me to stay, I would stay, ... A lot is going to depend on our philosophies and if we mesh.

For me, the most stressful part of the last 10 months has been that Codey and I have much different philosophies of business,

Well, my Plan B is really not such a bad one,

We're down in betting and I'm very disappointed, ... We did everything we could do to improve the racing product. Everybody told me a year ago it was all about purses.

Tony knows numbers, and he knows New Jersey. He's very methodical, and he's one of the smartest guys I know.

We do not profile anyone that comes into our arena, stadium or racetrack on any basis. There was no profiling of our customers. I want to make that clear.

Everyone wants a new stadium. We want to work toward that goal and we're 90 percent there and we ought to finish it. We're going to work hard to try to do that.

Rushing into that deal with the Giants was a big mistake. We didn't know at that point if the Jets were going to be in play here. Frankly, we should have waited until we could have both teams at the table together. Now, I don't think it would be unreasonable to give the teams more time to work things out. We need to let them work out their issues and not take any one side.

This is an indication to us that they want to be good partners. This always, obviously, goes a long way toward giving us some comfort that we're going to be able to continue moving this project forward. Obviously, we've had our ups and downs, but now we have all of our money up front.

They met every obligation that they have indicated to us.

It is very important for interests to be disclosed. I support the new policy and I think it is a very positive thing.

It sounds as if the governor is doing exactly what he should be doing and we'll try to give him all the information possible to help the treasurer and he reach a good decision for taxpayers. My position has always been clear and consistent.

Nothing has been discussed that is remotely controversial about my past involvement with Devco. Even if I hadn't stepped down as chairman, Devco would not be a conflict of interest.

Their home stadium is a New Jersey landmark, and it is an insult to us for them to remove the name of the state. We strongly object to this lack of respect for the state of New Jersey.

I had them sold for $325 million, ... That was an initial offer, and could easily have gone higher if bidding took place. Today I'm not sure I could get $225 million for them.

The key message I want to send is that no one has the right to drink excessively and ruin the experience for other people. We will have more situations where we won't have alcohol at the games if people are unruly. It's not fair to the people who pay for tickets. It's not safe for people in the stadium.
