The training wheels aren’t coming off.
In a report published last week, Gov. Phil Murphy’s special counsel, Jim Johnson, recommended that the state continue to oversee Atlantic City’s operations through 2021.
Despite the continued oversight, Mayor Frank Gilliam of Atlantic City remains optimistic:
“The citizens of Atlantic City deserve to have their local elected officials control their destiny,” said Gilliam. “I am very optimistic that this is a huge step in the right direction for Atlantic City and its future.”
