Scheffler Appointed

In a unanimous vote after a brief closed-door meeting, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority named former Atlantic County Sheriff Eric Scheffler its new executive director. And the Press of Atlantic City goes to say sources had indicated that Scheffler had the backing of Gov. Phil Murphy’s office and would get the job, but the vote was expected at the May meeting. There was no discussion among board members before the vote or after the meeting reopened to the public. Scheffler thanked the board.
