After much positive speculation today, it appears that an announcement saving the Trump Taj Mahal from closing Saturday will not happen

Several news outlets are reporting that a deal has fallen apart.

This afternoon, this statement was posted on the UNITE HERE Local 54 Facebook page:

Press Statement from Bob McDevitt

“We thought that we had come to an agreement with all parties that would resolve all of the issues with the Taj Mahal. We signed it, and the Trump CEO signed as well. At noon today, we were told that Carl Icahn had gone back on his commitment and would not enter into the agreement. This is what we have been dealing with for some time now at this property. We are disappointed that Mr. Icahn’s whims are going to add to the feelings of uncertainty and instability that the workers have had to live with and have to endure during this holiday season and beyond.

We and everybody else thought we could start moving Atlantic City forward, but it is unfortunate that one person could put the brakes on all that.”
