Not enough buffer between weed shops. Another one being planned just steps from the front door of AtlantiCare.
Police Chief Sarkos and Fire Chief Evans staying relatively quiet. Mayor Small has history of alleged threatening of employees.
Atlantic City is a sanctuary for the homeless. It’s a social services hub for the State of New Jersey.
Homeless encampments. Under the boardwalk. On the beach. More popping up every day.
Taxpayer grants and the CRDA provided funding for 3 buses that will provide transportation for Atlantic City seniors and youth for city-organized programs and events.
Critics: Mayor Small political slogans were used in the bus design.
Lack of police presence in Lower Chelsea.
Small business afraid of crime. Too many empty storefronts just steps from Stockton Campus. Teens not afraid of arrest.
Atlantic City in need of 50 additional police officers on the street.
Johnny Ex: Residents of Ventnor, Margate, Longport and Lower Chelsea stay on the (south) side of Stockton and Albany Ave.

I’ve asked city officials about the 13% luxury tax that the city collects. Mo believable answers. It totals $66,000,000 a year. Yet it all goes to the State of NJ. The State does nothing for it. I understand that Atlantic City is the only city in NJ that sends all the luxury tax revenue to NJ. Why can’t AC keep a majority of this luxury tax?
Regretably, the city in its history of decades, has frittered away a lot of money. It was decided by the State and Governor Byrne in 1978 that the city cannot handle the windfall of cash that came with casino gambling.
John is exactly correct about this administration – nothing great about it. Will always have a filthy city because he does not see it; used to the filth. Enough with the weed on every block, especially near the churches
