the problem. jon cooper said everyone shares a responsibility in this. i have been saying that since jonathan drouin's trade demand because steve yzerman and cooperman let that erode. demands do not come out of the blue. that's the boil over point in a relationship that took months to get this sour. and his agent is pushing the wrong buttons. he has a pit bull reputation he has a spoiled, frustrated client. instead of being an advisor, good agent he lashed out with his own arrogant attitude believabling that he can force the move. that backfired. steve yzerman is a franchise first guy. he will not make a move until it is the right time. and jonathan drouin with potential looks like he would be a problem for the next team if he does not get his way. it back fires for jonathan drouin because a player who wants an nhl job has now been put on ice and deserves to be there. >>> the blackhawks and lightning are playing their best hockey of they season. this will be a measuring stick the last time they met here at amalie arena, that was game 5 of the stanley cup fine finals. this between vic

senate president steve sweeney that would drastically increase the state's level of power over atlantic city. >> we're following what the state's recommending. it's a surprise to all of us that the state is saying we're not cooperating. >> partner with us. don't come in here with a hostile takeover, a plantation mentality, do as i say. >> reporter: sweeney and other supporters of the bill say atlantic city has a bloated budget far too big for its size. in newark with a population of 280,000 the budget translates to per capita cost of 2700 per person. in camden, population nearly 77,000, it's about 1900 per person. in atlantic city with 39,000 residents, they say it's more than 6,700. >> absolutely incorrect. >> reporter: guardian insists, state lawmakers have their figures wrong and millions paid in casino tax appeals throw the numbers off. he says spending in atlantic city is actually down. >> they're not comparing apples to apples. >> i reached out to sweeney's office but did not receive a response. atlantic city leaders urging the senate president to sit down with them at a meeting a
