As Atlantic City goes broke, pols bicker over aid plans

[UK2K]

Didn't know it was this serious.


"But bankruptcy and financial ruin will be here in mere weeks," said Democratic Assemblyman John Burzichelli. "Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian had to hold a press conference on Monday just to announce that the city could pay one of its bills. This is beyond nuts."

A matter of weeks? That's crazy. Atlantic City will be the next big city to go bankrupt I suppose. To me, I've always known Atlantic City as a gambling town, didn't think they'd ever be this bad off.

The majority of Donald Drumpf's bankruptcies centered around his AC casinos. He no longer owns any of them as Carl Icahn bought them after bailing the Donald out. The latest fire sale went down this year (http://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-taj-mahal-casino-out-of-bankruptcy-into-carl-icahns-hands-1456545458). Friends in high places make life much easier. :applause:

You need to spend about 1 second in AC before you realize it's broke.

As I mentioned, I wasn't even aware of AC being THIS broke. At what point did they not say '****, we should change something, cause if we keep this up, we'll be broke'?

Does AC not have a mayor and a board?

[iamgine]

Why is it bankrupt? Simply less visitors or something else?

Something tells me you'll be asking this question about the feds in the near future.
