Bill Pascrell, III (BP3): The North American Way
🎙 Podcast #107 with Pierre Lindh and Bill Pascrell, III (BP3), Partner at Princeton Public Affairs Group, Inc.
"Why is online gaming important? Because it's hugely important to tramp down on gambling addiction. It's the most important tool you can use for RG. If you don't do it- it's going to the black market"
Pierre and Bill sit down and discuss all things N.America- what is the current state of the American market in regards to the iGaming industry, what expectations does Bill have for the future and how does he think N.America should approach iGaming.
"Stop shitting on tribes, let them shit on you"- is one of the many hilariously profound things Pascrell had to say when talking about gaming in California. Texas and Florida also had their rundown on the matter of legislation- make sure not to miss out!
ABOUT BILL PASCRELL, III (BP3):
Along with his position at PPAG, Bill Pascrell III (more commonly known as BP3) has been the Passaic County Counsel since his unanimous appointment by the Passaic County Freeholder Board in 1998 as well again again for a fourth term in 2007.
BP3 has also served as a key insider and adviser to John Kerry’s National Presidential campaign. He has also been an esteemed advisor to U.S. Senator and Governor Jon Corzine, U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg, U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, Congressman Robert Roe, Herb Klein and Albio Sires as well as Governor James E. McGreevey. BP3 played an instrumental role in both McGreevey campaigns, one being McGreevey’s narrow defeat to Christine Todd Whitman in 1997 and the other is his landslide victory over Bret Schundler in 2001.
He has previously served former Congressman Herb Klein and former Governor James J. Florio. As Congressman Klein’s Chief Counsel and Chief of Staff, BP3 coordinated programs helping constituents with problems ranging from IRS to Immigration to Small Business Loans to Veterans Benefits. Working closely with Congressman Klein, BP3 helped bring millions of dollars back to the 8th Congressional District of NJ as well as federal monies for President Clinton’s Americorp Program through the NJ Community Development Corporation. On behalf of Congressman Klein, BP3 also worked with the Clinton administration to draft, pass, and implement the national program to put 100,000 police officers back on the streets of America.
BP3 commenced his undergraduate career at Rutgers University graduating from the Eagleton Institute of Politics and Public Administration. He later attended Seton Hall Law School as well as Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government Senior Executives in State Government Program.
