Quote of the Day

“You’re talking about a man who a month ago wasn’t paying for water or sewer, didn’t pay his taxes and couldn’t figure out how to get heat and electricity into his building. He’s resolved all those things, and it’s a good step forward now. It’s a different feeling.” — Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian (R), extending a cautious olive branch to will o’ the wisp developer Glenn Straub. The latter, for his part, wasn’t ready to reconcile. Said Straub, “we’ll just keep buying up the town for 5 cents on the dollar. If we have to sit on it for 10 years, we will, and then there will be a new government.”
