| Missing Atlantic City Mayor Resigns | ||
| 2007-10-11 | ||
| First he was missing and now he is gone. Mayor Robert W. Levy of Atlantic City resigned effective today. The city learned Tuesday why and where Mr. Levy took an indefinite medical leave, putting this resort city in municipal limbo for nearly two weeks. He has been under investigation by federal officials regarding his military service in Vietnam. Mr. Levy’s lawyer, Edwin J. Jacobs, said today during a televised news conference that Mr. Levy’s medical problems plus the investigation made it impossible for him to stay in office. “Mr. Levy has concluded that public confidence is so eroded by these circumstances that the only responsible action is to step down,” Mr. Jacobs said. “He does so with great regret and with apologies to his supporters, to the people of Atlantic City, and to his family and friends.” In his resignation letter to the city clerk, Mr. Levy said he had been trying to resolve his differences with the Veterans Administration and the federal government, “but whatever the outcome, I am no longer able to discharge my duties as mayor.”

| #2 NYSlimes: Democrats may be concerned that the embarrassing episode could affect this fall’s elections, including the races for the State Legislature, where all 120 seats are up for grabs. Even Gov. Jon S. Corzine seemed to endorse Mr. Levy’s resignation. When asked, Mr. Corzine told reporters in Trenton, “I think if the mayor isn’t fulfilling his obligations, hasn’t lived up to the oath of office, I think that’s probably the appropriate step.” ROLF! Mr. Jacobs would not say whether the mayor’s absence was related to his admission last fall that he had misrepresented his military service in Vietnam. After a series of articles in The Press of Atlantic City, the mayor conceded that although he was in the Army, he was not in the Special Forces. The United States attorney for New Jersey, Christopher J. Christie, is investigating whether Mr. Levy used the misrepresentation to collect larger payments under his military pension. solo reference, did the NYT decide to fluff away their demoCrap's "Military Problem". **THE PROBLEM: Seems that our demoCrap, Mayor Levy, claimed he was a Green Beret! Now Git this Robert William Levy, his real record plus a few clippings The odd thing is that Levy had a decent record without adding.... shhh, double-zero-dark-thirty-way-SOGGY-Missions-in-Laos etc.... yet decided to add Mystique to his own good record just to spite it. there's more if you care to add... The Missing Atlantic City mayor.. hummm I wonder if he did any business with Tony Soprano? |
