Polistina Discusses Proposed Legislation To Overhaul AC Government

State Sen. Vince Polistina, R-Atlantic, said Monday he needs to discuss his proposed legislation to overhaul Atlantic City’s government with local officials before releasing the full text of the bill to the public. Atlantic County Democratic Chair Michael Suleiman called on Polistina to share the bill publicly after hearing Polistina discuss it on the Don Williams radio show on WOND last week. The Press of Atlantic City reports the bill would keep an elected mayor and reduce the number of elected council people from the current nine to five, Polistina said.
