Atlantic City Council Meeting Embarrassment. WATCH VIDEO. You’ll understand why the State of NJ has been methodically taking over Atlantic City. ‘Can ya blame them?’ said one audience member at a recent Atlantic City Council meeting.
John Exadaktilos says: These councilmen make over $25,000 a year to argue like children, yell expletives at people during meetings, and fist bump when they got the last word?!! It is a joke!
Jay Jay says: How about the voters wake up and start fresh with a new board of council members who actually care. Stop the hand outs.
AC is well known for getting bad publicity even though things are getting MUCH better. Making matters worse, Atlantic City rarely gets media attention for the growing amount of positive stuff happening. Many point the finger at the declining local media; Newspaper, Radio and Philly-based TV.
A growing hodgepodge of social media sites also adds to the confusion for those watching from the South Jersey and Philadelphia regions.
Atlantic City is a one paper town. That’s never a good thing. Some say mogul Warren Buffet controls the media. The Press of Atlantic now enjoys a virtual monopoly in the print space after their acquisition of Current/Catamaran weeklies and Review Publishing’s AC WEEKLY. The demise of WMGM TV-40 didn’t help either.
Where do we start? Some say ‘fix this nonsense’.
- No public relations or internal PR.
- Viral videos of cursing councilman.
- In-fighting among virtually all city departments
- Looming shut down of controversial ACA; Atlantic City Alliance.
- Large parcels of land not producing tax revenue
