The New Jersey Casino Control Commission has named Alisa Cooper, a native of the resort, as vice chair for 2019.
“I’m very honored to be a commissioner here at the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and even more honored today to be nominated for the vice chairmanship,” said Cooper. “I love Atlantic City, love the area. I was born and raised in this town, and I’m very proud to be commissioner.”
Cooper is the daughter of the late Dolores Cooper, an Atlantic County Freeholder and state Assemblywoman, and was an entertainer in Atlantic City casinos dating back to gaming’s introduction in the seaside resort in 1978. She is also former county freeholder from 2005 to 2011 and was appointed to the commission in 2012 and reappointed to a full five-year term in 2014. Her annual salary on the commission is $125,000, according to the Press of Atlantic City.
