Yo, Mayor Frank. Might be time to roll up your sleeves and get down to the business of defending Atlantic City taxpayers. ACprimetime just received a letter written by local attorney, Seth Grossman. Looks like you received a copy too.<\/p>\n

Seth Grossman is\u00a0a former Atlantic City councilman and the tenacious director of LibertyandProsperity.com. Grossman has some interesting things to share with the new Mayor of Atlantic City.<\/p>\n

Item of greatest interest: the need for investigating and auditing the Chiesa Law Firm bills to Atlantic City.\u00a0This is pretty heavy stuff for Mayor Frank. Mucho dinero is vanishing right under his nose, just like it disappeared under Guardian’s.<\/p>\n

Is Gilliam ready to step up for his beloved City? The Northside needs a protector, not another cheerleader that only cares about Southside casinos. Ya feel me?<\/p>\n

Editors note: the following are highlights, lightly edited for space & clarity considerations. See actual PDF letter at bottom of page.<\/p>\n

Dear Frank: Congratulations on your hard fought and well-earned election. For two years, the efforts of LibertyandProsperity.com were frustrated by the previous mayor, who for some unknown reason, put the interests of State insiders above what was best for local taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Atlantic City Bills & Payments Related to Chiesa’s Law Firm\u00a0Should Be Investigated & Audited.<\/h2>\n

Chiesa can bill the city $400 per hour. Partners at his law firm can bill $350 per hour. Associates charge $240 per hour. Paralegals can bill $90 per hour.<\/p>\n

Philly.com says $118,000 was invoiced for reviewing City Council agendas. Really.<\/p>\n

According to Philly.com, the Chiesa Law firm has billed over $4 million so far. Invoices show that. But who’s the recipient of those invoices, and who\u2019s paying\u00a0the Chiesa Law Firm?<\/p>\n
