ACHA Board Moves To Remove New Executive Director

Two weeks after the new Atlantic City Housing Authority executive director slammed the agency for its procurement practices, the authority board is now preparing to remove Matthew Doherty from his leadership role — just four months after he began. According to the Press of Atlantic City, In a special meeting of the board, member Geoff Dorsey introduced a motion to “terminate the contract for convenience,” and board Chair Stephanie Marshall seconded the motion. Charmaine Hall, who joined the board earlier this summer, was the sole no vote. Along with Dorsey and Marshall, board members Natalie Devonish and Rosetta Johnson approved the motion. Doherty said the board’s action was retaliation, following his scathing statement comments at the Aug. 24 board meeting.
