Carver, the executive director of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority has been working without a contract since October of 2007. Despite this, Carver has remained the Authority’s chief executive and in December of 2008 was reportedly asked by Governor Jon Corzine to remain the boss of the CRDA, one of the state’s most powerful agencies for an additional two years. Republican Assemblymen Vince Polistina and John Amodeo have called on the Governor to settle the contract issue and restore stability to the CRDA leadership as it deals with potential investors by either renewing Carver’s contract or moving in a different direction. Sources say that Governor Corzine has at least flirted with the idea of replacing Carver with a very prominent and politically connected Atlantic City attorney. Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford appears steadfast in his resolve to name a Public Safety Director whose authority would usurp the powers currently under the purview of Police Chief John Mooney and Fire Chief Dennis Brooks. Various names have surfaced as candidates for the position, including former Deputy Police Chief Willie Glass, current Deputy James J. Leonard Jr., Esq. Police Chief Ernest Jubilee, former PBA President Don Hurley and current Emergency Services Director Tom Foley. Sources say that Langford may also be considering candidates from outside the city. Mooney and Brooks have indicated their existing contracts preclude Langford from naming a Public Safety Director and have threatened litigation in the event that he does. A Full Service Litigation Firm Langford’s legal team has denounced the language in those contracts as being “unenforceable”. While this quagmire is likely heading to Court in the coming months, can someone please see R to it that the ability to park ones vehicle on the north side of Iowa Avenue outside of the Criminal Law Baltimore Grill is restored? Whoever can accomplish that has our vote. When the FBI recently arrested 44 individuals in a massive statewide corruption scandal, Municipal Court / DWI the rogue’s gallery and the nature of the charges were extremely diverse. Ranging from the proverbial $10,000.00 cash payoff inside a diner (hasn’t this been done before?) to the sale of Traffic Matters black market kidneys from third world countries (I can’t even touch that one), prominent North Family Law • Divorce Jersey rabbi’s and businessmen, the mayor’s of three municipalities and a state legislator from Ocean County were all forced to do the perp walk much to the delight of the Newark Star Ledger. Personal Injury Lost in all of the hoopla was that not one of the 44 accused was named Callaway or had any Immigration Law connection to Atlantic City. Speaking of connections to Atlantic City, how does the city who famously bungled its 83-year Casino Licensing old partnership with the fabled Miss America Pageant in 2004 allow the World Monopoly Championship to take place in Las Vegas? That’s like the White House Sub Shop packing up and setting up shop in Buena. Let’s bring back Miss America (especially if she looks like Katie Stamm, see page 12) and let’s get the World Monopoly Championship out of the desert and bring it back to the Boardwalk.
