Suarez To Remain DCA Head In NJ

Atlantic City has been waiting on how much longer the state’s oversight will last. The Municipal Stabilization and Recovery Act has been in effect since 2016, giving the state powers through the Department of Community Affairs. As that 10-year agreement comes to an end, legislators have been working on the terms of an extension. BreakingAC.com reports while questions remain, the city now knows it will have some consistency in its relationship with the state: the DCA commissioner. Gov-elect Mikie Sherrill announced this week that she will retain Jacquelyn Suarez in the position she took over from her mentor, the late Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver.
