Atlantic City Mayoral Meltdown. Guardian vs Padula. Are You Gay?

LISTEN to this cringe-worthy, mayoral melt-down. > Did Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian, who sits on the planning board, take campaign contributions from a local business that needed planning board approval? That’s what a caller to the Harry Hurley Radio show wanted to know on the morning of October 26.

Guardian, facing the dread of being a one term Atlantic City Mayor, was not happy about that question related to Flagship Resort campaign contributions.

The Atlantic City Mayor went on full attack, with a wide variety of accusations and put-downs of Inlet resident, Mark Padula.

LISTEN TO THE WPG Radio CALL


Atlantic City Mayor, Don Guardian’s Filibuster on WPG Radio:

  • There’s no conflict.
  • Are you gay?
  • Attacking a poor little girl.
  • Lies about my father-in-law
  • Why do you hate Gay people?
  • You have bitterness in your heart.
  • You’re a bigot.


Caller Padula, asked the Mayor why he didn’t abstain from a recent vote, concerning Flagship Resorts, a substantial contributor to the Guardian campaign. Flagship reportedly donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Guardian campaign.

Mayor Guardian is a member of the Atlantic City Planning Board. Member’s votes have a direct effect (sometimes positive, sometimes negative) on both residents and businesses.

Usually, a voting planning board member will recuse himself…. or abstain from voting….. on a particular application that a board member may have some type of connection to. 

Padula says it’s a conflict of interest. The Flagship Resort benefited from Mayor Don Guardian’s planning board vote. The Guardian mayoral campaign benefited from the large contributions that came from Flagship.
