Beginning in 1995,representatives of the Delaware Tribe of Western Oklahoma expressed their desire to open a casino in Wildwood,New Jersey,going so far as to file a suit in New Jersey Superior Court against the city of Wildwood in March 1998,claiming that the land originally belonged to the tribe. Shortly after filing,the tribe dropped the suit of its own accord,but the events prompted LeFevre and fellow Assemblyman George Geist to propose legislation asking Congress to amend the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act to require authorization at the state level before allowing a Native American gambling enterprise to open. LeFevre cited a concern that "Indian gaming" would cause a reduction in tax revenue from casinos in Atlantic City. [3]
In 2000,LeFevre introduced legislation to ban motorized scooters and skateboards on streets,sidewalks and parks,and would impose fines of as much as $1,000 on those violating the ban;LeFevre noted that they are typically "unregistered,uninsured and operated by unlicensed drivers" in their teens who are unfamiliar with the rules of the road. The bill passed unanimously in the Assembly. [4]
After LeFevre decided not to run for re-election,Linwood mayor Paul D'Amato took LeFevre's place on the 2001 Republican ticket with Blee. Both won. [5]
