There’s no better way to wrap up the week than a batch of delicious Quick Hits. Unless it’s Quick Hits washed down with some fine Scotch! But it’s too early for Scotch, you drunks! Just eat the Quick Hits.

• That didn’t last long. It took New Jersey’s Legislature hardly any time at all to cave in to Gov. Jon Corzine’s demand to raise the state’s sales tax by 1 percent (to 7 percent total). Perhaps the shuttered casinos were an image too awful to bear?

In any case, government workers — including the Casino Control Commission agents who are required to be present while gambling is taking place — will be back on the job soon. And that means casinos get to resume raking in $16 million a day.

Now the only question is, how will Nevada casino companies regard New Jersey going forward? A casino shutdown is obviously a radical interruption in business, something that has far-reaching implications for stockholders. Will casinos trust New Jersey again? Will they not invest or expand there because of the shutdown? Who weeps for them, and their losses?

• What the hell is the problem with Justice of the Peace Karen Bennett-Haron? First, she lets accused bribe-taker Frances Deane take her sweet time turning herself in, and now the judge herself is taking her sweet time deciding whether Deane should be bound over for trial in District Court.

Although the evidence against Deane was compelling — two businessmen testified they bribed her to provide thousands of county property records under Deane’s purview in her elected job as recorder — Bennett-Haron put off ruling for 70 days, until Sept. 14. That’s right, more than two months to decide what should be a fairly straightforward case.

It’s not like there’s a political angle to the case: Deane decided not to seek re-election in November.

So why wait on this ruling? The judge ordered a copy of the transcript for review, but she was present during all of the testimony. Is re-reading it going to change anything? Either prosecutors met their burden or they didn’t. Let’s get on with dispensing justice or tossing out the case, Judge Bennett-Heron!

• The city of Las Vegas is investigating whether to take action against the Crazy Horse Too strip club, the Review-Journal reports. Discipline could include revoking the club’s privileged liquor license.

Wow. All it took for the city to get involved was an FBI raid, years of investigation by the federal government, wiretaps, and guilty pleas from more than a dozen Crazy Horse Too employees, including owner Rick Rizzolo, who agreed to sell the place as part of his plea arrangement.

Way to be ahead of the ball, city! It’s like firefighters showing up after the house has burned down to spray down the smoldering ashes.

• People get personalized license plates “to distinguish themselves from the masses?” People in Vegas are self-absorbed? The Las Vegas Sun breaks the story.
