A
Here
at
Stockton
University,
my
name
is
Michael
Jackson,
the
president
of
the
greater
Atlantic
City
Chamber
of
Commerce.
We
are
truly
honored
to
have
you
all
with
us
today,
as
we
delve
into
critical
issues
shaping
the
greater
Atlantic

I,
think
it's
important
for
everybody
to
know
that
the
chamber,
probably
90
percent
of
our
funding,
may
be
more
comes
from
your
membership
and
sponsorships
do
not
get
all
the
funding
for
vitamin
C6.
Things
are
changing.
We
do
have
a
foundation
arm
now,
but
we're
able
to
do
our
work.
Keep
the
public
informed
Advocate
on
your
behalf,
because
of
your
support
for
our
organization
and
for
our
generous
sponsors.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
Furthermore,
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
in
the
presence
of
our
esteemed
board
members
in
the
audience
to
your
dedication
and
guidance,
Have
Been,
instrumental
in
shaping
the
chamber's
vision
and
initiatives.
Your
presence
here
today
affirms
our
shared
commitment
to
the
prosperity
of
a
region.
We
could
just
see
a
show
of
hands
for
a
number
of
our
board
members
that
are
here
today.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
the
organization,
you
can
see
how
many
are
here.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
coming
making
sure
that
I've
worked
for
a
number
of
years
and
have
been
commitment
to
our
committed
to
our
region
for
a
long
long
time
now,
our
panelists
today
represent
a
range
of
perspectives
and
I'm,
confident
that
their
insights
will
provide
valuable
contacts
for
the
challenges
and
opportunities
we
face
in
our
region.
We
are
incredibly
fortunate
to
have
the
distinguished
presence
of
today's
moderator,
Matt
Basil
for
NJ
Biz,
real,
quick,
Matt
and
I
met
during
the
visit
Atlantic
City
Air
Show.
A
We
was
interviewing
me
about
the
air
show
and
economic
impact.
We
had
a
real
interest
in
Atlantic
County.
The
conversation
went
far
beyond
and
we
were
thrilled
to
have
Matt
here
with
us
today.
So
thank
you
Matt
for
joining
us.
We
also
have
Senator
Vince
Palestine
nope
jumped
out
of
there.
Sorry
about
that.
We
have
mayor.
Kim
Horton
is
joining
us
today.
A
She
is
the
mayor
of
Absecon
she's,
the
president
of
the
Atlanta
County
matters,
Association
Kim
and
I
met
years
ago,
just
prior
to
the
pandemic,
when
we
were
advocating
for
the
177
Fighter
Wing
to
get
the
F-35.
We
had
numerous
conversations
about
why
basing
those
fighter
jets
here
and
the
importance
of
the
177
the
economic
impact
around
the
base
and
we've
continued
our
relationship,
and
this
is
the
first
time
she's
participating
in
one
of
the
panels
with
us.
There's
a
welcome
mayor,
Horton.
A
I
think
the
county
executive
is
an
example
of
Public
Service,
unlike
others,
that
we
have
seen
in
our
area
24
years
of
service
and
running
for
an
additional
term.
Now
you
know
a
lot
of
the
good
that
you
see
in
Atlantic
County.
A
lot
of
the
positive
impacts
have
been
a
result
of
his
Relentless
support
for
our
community,
our
residents
and
our
businesses
and
I
think
we
all
owe
County
Executive
Levinson
a
huge
gratitude
for
his
commitment
to
our
area.
So
thank
you.
A
Senator
Palestinian
District
2
Senator
his
door,
his
chief
of
staff,
Joe
Berg,
assemblyman,
Guardian,
assembly,
woman,
Swift,
their
doors
are
always
open
and
and
what
I
truly
appreciate
as
a
chamber
of
commerce?
Is
we
don't
always
agree
on
issues,
but
we
always
look
at
the
policy.
His
team
consistently
focuses
on
the
policy
in
the
betterment
OR
region.
We've
discussed
clean
and
safe
issues,
Transportation
on
and
on
with
him,
and
certainly
Chief

Staff
Joe

absolutely
tremendous
work

we
greatly
appreciate
your

as

Thank

A
And
Dr
Oliver
cook
associate
professor
of
Economics
here
at
Stockton
University.
We
work
with
Dr
cookman
a
number
of
events.
He
has
experienced
his
expertise,
his
unmatching,
our
Market.
We
are
thrilled
to
have
in
here
not
only
as
a
representative
of
Stockton
University
in
this
home
building,
but
because
of
his
commitment
to
understanding
and
learning
more
and
sharing
that
information
about
Atlanta
County.
So
thank
you,
Dr
Phil
for
joining
us
again
forever.
A
A
So
without
further
ado,
let
let's
commence
on
the
conversation
from
our
incredible
panel,
explore
new
ideas,
work
together
towards
a
brighter
future
for
our
community.
So
thank
you
for
all
for
being
here
today
and
I
want
to
turn
the
floor
over
to
Matt,
for
what
I'm
sure
will
be
an
insightful
experience.
So
thank
you
all
and
thank
you
to
our
panelists
again.
C
Thank
you
and
a
really
pleasure
to
be
here
as
Mike
was
referencing.
I
got
to
see
him
this
year
at
the
air
show,
so
it
was
the
first
time
I
actually
got
to
see
it
in
person,
which
was
really
a
great
experience.
I've
covered
Atlantic,
City,
Atlanta
County
for
quite
a
while
for
my
journalist,
career
and
really
you
know,
I'm
not
trying
to
Pander
into
this
room
here.
I
really
believe
like
as
this
region
goes,
and
not
just
Atlantic
City
the
whole
surrounding
area
of
South
Jersey,
the
different
tourism.
C
Believe
the
state
goes
so
I
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
good
ground
to
cover
and
a
lot
of
topics
to
get
to,
and
we
have
a
great
panel
of
like
reference,
and
hopefully
they
do
more
of
the
talking,
because
they
are
the
experts
now
this
area.
So
we'll
start
out.
We
have
a
few
rounds
of
questions
and
we'll
get
through
as
much
as
we
can
today
so
open
it
up
and
mayor
Horton
start
with
you
on
this.
D
D
Also.
The
other
investment
I
think
in
is
higher
education
here
in
Stockton
ACCC
children
are
our
future
and
I
think
that
this
is
great.
That
you
know,
like
a
facility
where
you
might
have
to
do
is
yeah,
because
it's
a
great
great
evening
and
I'm
happy
that
they're
expanding
I
hope
they
continue
to
expand.
Even
people
like
me,
who
are
retired
when
I
reach
out
to
my
friends.
They
want
to
be
in
a
community
that
have
colleges
because
they
know
that's
an
opportunity
for
them.
D
C
A
C
C
Many
of
you
in
the
room
are
harder
to
be
focused
more
on
improving
our
educational
situation.
Here
with
hiring
the
ACCC
was
stopping
improving
our
medical
facilities
with
Atlanticare,
who
I
know
is
in
the
room
in
short,
Memorial
and
then
the
aviation
industry,
who
is
here
from
Walmart
Max
and
everybody
associated
with
the
Atlanta
County
Economic
Alliance.
There
are
really
four
pillars:
I
see
now
in
Atlantic,
Canada
tourism.
Obviously
we
can
never
forget
education,
medical
Aviation.
C
Those
are
really
the
four
things
in
order
to
diversify
this
economy
and
create
more
opportunities
that
I
see
as
the
evolution
over
the
last
decade
of
what
we're
going
to
look
to
going
forward
and
Doctor
Who
would
would
you
kind
of
some
of
those
families
and
what?
How
else
do
you
see
the
economic
landscape
evolving
here,
yeah.
E
It's
great
to
be
here
with
you
all
yeah
I,
think
I
Echo,
a
lot
of
that
I,
actually
kind
of
think
about
I've
been
in
this
area
since
2005
or
six
and
what
have
I.
You
know
at
this
point
a
rather
long
chance
to
kind
of
watch
the
evolution
of
the
local
and
Regional
economy
here
and
in
many
ways
it's
kind
of
remarkable
I.
Think
because
on
on
one
hand
it's
almost,
you
can
kind
of
talk,
two
different
kind
of
economies.
E
In
some
sense,
you
have
the
overall
economy
which,
since
the
2012
has
actually
is
kind
of
a
total
employment
basis,
actually
declined.
But
if
you
strip
out
Casino
industry
for
the
reasons
Senator,
you
know
made
it
clear
that
kind
of
told
that
the
industry
went
through.
That
number
actually
turns
into
like
a
plus
five
percent,
as
opposed
to
a
minus
five
percent
over
the
last
decade,
which
really
kind
of
speaks
to
this
debt
efforts
right
to
kind
of
diversify.
F
F
F
That,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
is
the
future
of
this
County,
the
future
of
this
area,
future
the
state
and
possibly
the
future
of
the
country
we
have
an
aviation
party
and
I
wish
you
all
would
come
out
and
visit
and
see
what
we
have
and
it
caught
on.
I
will
say
this
when
we
thought
about
starting
this
and
it's
the
county
executive
people
certainly
well
you're,
going
to
build
this
thing
you
ever
want
to
build
it.
Can
we
get
some
Finance?
The
answer
was
General.
F
F
We
don't
have
any
well
your
perspective,
tenants,
we
don't
have
any
of
them
either,
but
I
do
believe.
If
we
build
it.
They'll
come
right
now,
you're,
not
only
coming
you're
back
on
our
door.
We
not
only
have
our
first
building
killed
with
massive
Thunderbolt
General
Dynamics.
These
are
top
corporations
in
the
world
and
they're.
Here
it
wasn't
for
clothing.
We'd
have
three
buildings
on
so
now
we
have
the
second
building
that's
going
up,
it
is
our
future
and
what
we
need
is
stay
up
to
put
the
state
of
Virginia
does
for
their
Aviation.
F
What
Oklahoma
does
we
need
it
here?
This
is
the
future
for
our
children,
terrific
jobs
that
are
coming
in
and
it's
happening
as
we
speak.
So
I
just
want
to
urge
you
all
please
come
out.
Take
a
look
at
what
we've
done
so
far
and
get
on
board
and,
and
you
can
see
we're
there
on
the
ground
floor.
Thank.
C
You
have
local
County
state
level,
academic
leveling,
so
you
see
you're
seeing
a
lot
of
different
perspectives
on
these
issues
and
one
of
the
things
you
know
what
just
in
my
coverage,
especially
of
this
area
in
tourism
and
gaming,
things
like
that,
you
know
a
lot
of
it
is
looking
at
pandemic,
pre-pandemic
versus
during
the
pandemic,
and
now,
as
we
emerge
from
the
pandemic,
you
know
mayor.
How
do
you
feel
the
numbers
and
just
the
like
just
the
feel
on
the
ground?
Here
was
the
summer
from
a
from
a
tourism
and
economy
standpoint.
C
B
D
We
have
our
our
homes
are
filled.
We
have
people
who
want
to
move
to
Absecon,
so
I
I'm
going
to
say
that
they
come
and
visit
and
they
want
to
live
here,
which
of
course,
benefits
my
municipality
with
the
other
municipalities,
because
now
they're
our
values,
our
homes
have
increased,
which
is
you
know
important,
and
you
know
we
and
Miss
Kelly's
are
stepping
up.
We
got
new
restaurants,
ourselves,
I.
B
D
C
Johnson,
how
do
you
have
the
summer?
I
mean
it
was
a
decent
summer?
I
think
we
know
that
it
was
okay.
You
know
the
numbers
when
you
look
at
the
numbers
overall
were
similar
to
2019
before
the
pandemic,
so
I
think
from
a
brick
and
mortar
standpoint.
You
know
the
the
industry
here
and
the
tourism
you
know
in
the
region
was
was
decent,
I
mean?
Oh,
he
teed
this
one
up.
Man,
we
had
some
challenges
up.
Atlantic
City
I
mean
it's
not
a
secret
that
there
are
challenges
here.
C
C
Productive
Stockton
here
has
been
tremendous
for
the
southern
end
of
the
city
and
we're
going
to
see
future
development
with
Lot
21
and
hopefully
continue
the
progress
that
you
know
the
county
and
others
have
started,
but
we,
you
know,
we
need
to
really
focus
from
a
state
level,
county
level,
local
level.
How
do
we
get
the
city
into
a
point
of
you
know
to
a
point
where
people
want
to
be
here
and
navigate
around,
feel
safe,
see
it
clean,
and
so
that's
going
to
be
a
big
Focus
as
we
go
forward.
C
Let
me
pull
up
like
in
this
moment
right.
Is
that
a
lot
of
what
the
efforts
are
that
synchronization
between
the
three
levels
of
trying
to
get
everybody
on
the
same
page,
what
the
things
you're
describing
but
Lisa?
Oh
yes,
I
mean
we
obviously
have
the
you
know.
The
state
has
quote
unquote
takeover
of
the
city.
That
in
some
cases,
has
worked
well
from
a
financial
standpoint
in
terms
of
reinvestment,
Redevelopment
hasn't
really
produced
results,
and
so
certainly
you.
B
C
If
we
get
through
this
November,
hopefully
we're
successful
we're
going
to
go
back
and
make
sure
that
we
are
partnering
with
State
County
local
government
to
do
the
things
that
are
necessary
here.
Jacqueline
Suarez,
you
know
so
it
takes
over
now
as
the
head
of
the
Department
of
Community
Affairs,
which
is
wonderful,
I.
Think
for
the
city,
because
she
has
a
perspective
on
Atlantic
City.
She
was
here
as
the
Director
of
local
government
services.
D
Had
family
that
have
come
and
visited
and
I'm
so
proud
of
this
County
in
Atlantic
City,
and
we
have
that
natural
resource.
We
have
that
ocean.
We
have
that
Boardwalk.
We
need
to
work
on
bringing
back
where
it
needs
to
be.
People
are
going
to
Maryland
they're,
going
to
Ocean
City
Maryland
and
I've
gone
down
there
and
what
it
is
it's
clean,
it's
it's
beautiful
there,
the
dog
on
it.
It
should
be
that
way
too.
Yeah.
C
E
Of
period
I
think
that
most
of
the
kind
of
metrics
and
stuff
that
I
look
at
we
have
returned.
If
not,
you
know
kind
of
marginally,
you
know
surpassed
2019
pre-pandemic
benchmarks,
I
would
say
kind
of
echoing
comments,
I
think
here,
I,
don't
know
if,
when
the
final
numbers
come
in
on
23
summer,
if
they're
going
to
be
as
robust
if
they
weren't
22
I,
think
in
22
you
had
still
some
pentacular.
E
E
If
you
look
at
just
June
and
July
hotel,
motel
tax
receipts
from
the
Department
of
taxing
those
look
very,
very
strong,
so
I'm
eager
time,
I
haven't
seen
the
August
data
point
drop
yet
so
we
eager
to
see
kind
of
at
the
end
when
we
get
it
what
it
actually
looks
like,
but
you
know
I
think
by
all
accounts
it
was.
It
was
a
very
good
summer.
I,
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
be
22
point.
F
You
know
everybody
you've
got
to
stop
being
Atlantic
City
Century.
This
is
a
county
of
555
square
miles
and
Atlantic
City
is
48
bucks.
We
can't
continue
to
say
Atlantic
City,
Atlantic
City.
We
know
about
the
beach,
we
know
about
the
boardwalk.
We
know
about
the
restaurants,
the
casino
game
we
need
more
and
until
we
realize
that
Atlantic
City
is
not
going
to
be
helped
by
the
state
of
New
Jersey.
B
F
F
B
F
Take
a
look:
what
they've
done
drive
down
Pacific
in
Atlanta
and
see
what
you
have
done?
They
haven't
done
too
much
and
by
the
way,
it's
not
an
Olympic
City's
phone,
Irvington,
Trenton
Pleasantville
and
go
to
all
of
your
inner
cities.
This
is
a
nationwide
problem
that
we
have
and
to
Center
on
Atlantic
City
continually.
What
are
we
going
to
do?
What
are
you
going
to
do?
Well,
how
about
safe
and
clean?
Well,
it's
easier
said
than
done.
F
Take
a
look
at
our
inner
cities.
At
this
present
time
you
just
and
that's
what
Atlantic
City
is
believe
me
and
Jim.
Usher
and
former
mayor
said
the
same
thing:
it's
a
tale
of
two
of
those
billion
dollars
and
the
people
outside
and
the
reason
I
got
into
politics
is
I,
do
believe
it
was
done
backwards.
F
F
F
This
is
why,
because
it's
safe
and
clean
so,
like
I,
said
it's
easier
said
than
done,
but
that's
not
under
the
purview
of
a
bank
account
I
wish
it
were,
but
it
isn't
and
under
the
circumstances,
we're
going
to
build
account
and
we're
not
going
to
be
Atlantic
City
Centric
anymore,
Atlantic
City
when
we
talked
about
is
the
world
playground.
That's
70,
000
people
living
and
millions
of
owners
have
came
down
in
the
summertime
and
they
fraud
and
they
recreated.
F
C
D
D
You
know
a
big
discounted,
tickets
or
or
some
some
reasons,
purchase
locals
to
use
or
other
people,
so
they
also
need
to
come
up
with
low
interest
or
Grant
loans
or
grants
for
for
people
to
update
their
their
facades
of
their
buildings
or
to
update
their
actual
businesses,
but
there
was
a
caveat
that
they
had
to
increase
the
number
of
employees
they
have
and
in
a
lot
of
cases.
I
know
in
my
account
about
see
this
is
your
mom
and
pop.
C
And
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
investments
into
the
various
Industries
and
I
think
those
have
been
the
biggest
things
we
see.
You
know
trying
to
get
State
investment,
local
investment
into
some
of
these
industries
and
I
think
that
is
from
the
you
know:
expansion
of
stock
and
hopefully
the
extension
of
Atlanticare,
some
medical
you'll,
see
the
aviation
fairly
is
critical.
The
local
Housing
Development
law
has
been
a
toolwood,
has
been
used
by
many
mentality
plan
here
to
try
to
Spur
additional
developments
for
our
job.
Creations
you've
seen
that
used.
C
C
C
What
happened
with
Atlantic
City
is
that
they
oversessed
these
properties,
and
it
happened
for
many
years
to
the
point
where,
once
so,
when
they
started
following
tax
appeals,
the
economy
and
the
finances
of
Atlantic
City
collapsed,
and
that's
why
the
state
had
to
come
in
and
take
over
from
a
financial
perspective,
the
city
of
Atlantic
City.
They
have
Millions
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
of
budgets
here
they
have
generated
billions
of
dollars
of
economic
growth
in
Atlantic
City,
and
the
city,
unfortunately,
is
an
estate
where
we
need
additional
support.
C
So
I
know
that
any
pushed
for
County
by
tax
assessment
I
think
the
county
had
the
tax
assessment
powers
back.
When
all
this
occurred,
we
wouldn't
be
in
the
situation
we
are,
but
I.
Don't
think
that
I
don't
think
that
the
city
can
conduct
any
culpability
for
what
has
happened
in
this
city.
Clearly
they
they
remain
drive
for
this.
We
got
to
get
it
turned
around
and
that's
why
they
say
we
got
to
go
to
partnership,
State,
County
local
number
to
get
this
turned
around
and
Dr
Cook
from
your
career
perspective.
On
this.
E
Yeah,
but
just
to
continue
to
go
back,
I
mean
I.
Think
this
again
everything
has
been
said,
especially
so
that's
that's,
I
think
one
thing
I
was
actually
is:
I
was
kind
of
prepping
for
this
I
I
went
back.
Most
of
you
are
probably
familiar
with
the
the
the
2015
Angelou
report,
right
that
was
kind
of
kind
of
set
out.
If
you
go
back
and
you
look
at
the
report,
it's
kind
of
the
way,
the
groundwork
for
a
lot
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
right
over
the
last.
E
You
know,
seven,
seven
or
eight
years
here,
there's
an
aviation
piece
that
is,
that
is
identified
clearly
there,
and
then
there
was
also
a
manufacturing
piece
which
in
the
report
came
back.
They
just
like
gave
it
some
weird
names,
especially
manufacturing
or
something
right,
but
I
think
the
the
what's
interesting,
if
you
kind
of
think
about
the
history
of
the
casino
industry
which
I
I
I,
that
Denny's
right
and
I
certainly
agree
with
them.
E
It's
Westport,
I
would
say
in
many
ways
you
you
get
I
think
that
there's
a
natural
tie-in
between
that
Aviation
piece
and
that
manufacturing
piece
and
the
manufacturing
piece
becomes
so
critical,
I
think
moving
forward
because
of
the
larger
multipliers
that
it
potentially
has
I
mean
once
you
start
walking
down
input,
chains,
right
and
purchasing
chains.
This
creates
the
kind
of
small,
firm
and
incubation
kind
of
development
that
so
many
people
I
think
have
longed
for
for
so
long.
In
Atlantic
City
there
are
ways
to
question.
Persification
is
happening.
E
E
Those
change
those
purchases
purchasing
chains
that
I
think
that
that's
become
so
critical
and
so,
as
I
kind
of
think
about
my
future
job.
Appreciating
future
growth
walking
down
those
Supply
chains
and
Manufacturing
is
something
that's
represented,
one
two
percent
of
the
financing's
economy
for
decades.
C
E
So
there's
enormous
potential
payoff
and
you
know
and
I
think
the
you
know
the
folks
that
do
this
that
are
in
the
trenches
doing
this.
This
is
not
this
is
this
will
not
happen
overnight.
This
is
a
a
very
long
process
right
and
so
it's
very
difficult,
I
think
politically
oftentimes
right,
because
there
are
not,
you
know,
ribbon
cuttings,
don't
come
every
six
months
or
it's
it's
a
decade
right
of
building
Industries.
But
if
you
look
around
the
country
to
places
that
have
a
diet,
you
know
these
benefits.
E
Last
week
you
know
people
talk
about
little
silicon
planes
that
didn't
happen
overnight.
That
that's
been
that's
been
in
motion
for
two
two
decades
right
and
now
there
are
just
a
handful
of
metropolitan
areas
that
actually
can
play
claim
to
having
some
of
that
some
of
that
success,
and
so
you
know
I
think
that
we're
watching
the
right
things
walked
towards
that
attack
and.
F
Well,
maybe
at
the
Atlanta
County
Economic
Alliance,
which
many
businesses
have
taken
advantage
of
more
and
more,
is
here
now.
Can
you
pick
his
break
before
you
leave
and
find
out
what
they
have?
We
have
a
Workforce
Development
board
where
we
put
people
to
work,
teach
them
clean
your
nails
for
them
to
speak.
English
properly,
will
get
you
a
job,
we'll
train.
You
can't
expect
people
to
come
in
and
just
be
ready
to
move.
This
is
what
we've
been
doing:
training
people
who
brought
kids
in
this
year.
F
We
play
16
children
after
we
retrain
them
into
permanent
jobs.
This
is
something
we
want
to
do
and
that's
something
that
the
County
Community
that's
what
we
can
do
as
a
state
and
the
rest
of
that.
But
you
know
it's
personal
initiative
also
talk
about
what's
happening
in
Atlantic
City.
It
can
happen
if
you
decide
what
your
best
foot
forward
give
an
example.
F
C
F
F
You
want
my
opinion
and
I
know
it's
it's
worth
my
opinion
government
gets
involved
in
most
things.
It's
a
school,
that's
the
way.
It
is
always
been
it's
the
way
it's
always
going
to
be.
This
country
was
founded
on
personal
initiative,
it
can
be
done
and
it
just
doesn't
have
to
be
Atlantic
City
and
then
another
restaurant
Steven
cookies,
Co-op
reservation.
You
know
you
get
one
in
November.
F
Well,
it's
a
success.
Why
is
2825
Stephen
could
be
successful
because
they
know
how
to
run
a
business.
That's
what
it
comes
down
to.
Why
did
businesses
go
out
so
quickly
no
bankrupt
because
they
don't
have
to
run
a
business
watch
TV
and
see
Bar,
Rescue
they're
failing
all
of
these
restaurant
bars
and
this
guy
comes
in
out
of
nowhere?
Suddenly
there
is
success
and
that's
what
it
comes
down
to.
F
F
They
had
a
different
idea
of
how
to
be
successful
and
obviously
the
Revolution
was
coming
and
Uso
said
we
have
to
change
the
institutions,
we
have
to
change
them
and
if
we
don't
change
them,
we're
going
to
fail
dinner
to
the
lawn
and
say
you're
wrong.
We
have
to
change
the
people.
If
we
don't
change
the
people
they're
going
to
erect
the
same
institutions
that
they
have
and
that's
when
it
comes
down
to.
F
We
have
to
have
people
with
initiative
with
great
intelligent
and
hard
work
who
wants
to
work
holding
back
everywhere.
You
go
help
me
help
me
help
need
it,
but
then
we
get
calls
everything
I
can't
find
a
job.
Why
can't
I
can't
answer
that
question?
Oh,
unless
people
aren't
good
seven
hours
a
day,
that's
nice!
Back
on
his
return.
What
do
you
mean?
You
know
you
got
a
three-day
week?
Maybe
it
all
considered,
you
can't
get
people
to
work.
F
I
have
some
of
my
institutions
here:
I
can't
hire
people
and
I
can't
fire
them.
If
my
environment
is
going
to
take
their
place,
that's
the
circumstances
and
you
know
you're
not
going
to
solve
a
problem
until
you
define
what
it
is
and
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
do.
I
know
I
know
something:
I
can
know
it
all
honestly
I'm
running
through
office.
I,
don't
want
you
to
dislike
me.
E
D
Just
said,
we
have
a
liquor,
store
and
I'm
seeking
it's
called
White,
Horse
liquor
and
people
come
there,
it's
a
destination
almost
to
come
to
that
liquor
store.
Nobody
works
harder
than
that
family
family.
We
are
now
including
their
liquor
store.
They
now
are
building
another
down
the
road
still
on
Route
30,
but
everyone's
Pleasant.
Everyone
is
helpful,
so
he
said
the
own
country,
I
I,
want
people
to
come
here.
I
want
them.
I
want
to
be
helpful.
D
I
want
I,
I
want
them
to
seek
me
out
so
and
and
they're
there
24
7.,
just
exactly
what
you
say
may
have
worked
better
themselves
to
their
own
almost
because
there
are
a
ton
of
liquor
stores
and
you
can't
go
anywhere,
but
it's
amazing
to
see
people
come
pull
over.
I
I
want
to
come
here
so
you're
right.
It
does
take
hard
work
and
I
know
in
my
community
of
epson.
We've
had
such
a
difficult
time
for
the
acln
and
we
and
we
hear
their
pain
because
they
just
can't
get
people
to
work.
C
Yeah
well
that
kind
of
dovetails
into
the
next
topic:
I'm
gonna,
try
not
to
think
too
much
about
2825
executive.
Levinson
has
my
mind
on
that.
Now
that
was
one
of
the
most
spectacular
meals
I've
ever
had
in
my
life.
But
what
role
do
each
of
you
see
the
local
government
playing
and
supporting
small
businesses
and
entrepreneurs
in
the
area?
Of
course,
this
isn't
a
top.
C
You
know
an
executive
Levinson
have
his
viewpoint
on
which
I'm
going
to
come
back
on
in
a
second,
but
also
it
is
a
time
where,
with
enormous
challenges,
right
everybody
in
here
understands
them
from
labor
High
interest
rates,
inflation.
You
know
they've
been
supply
chain
down.
The
line
I
mean
what
are
your
thoughts
on
that
topic?
Well,.
D
A
couple
of
my
businesses:
they
wanted
to
apply
to
240r
and
then
president
observation
program,
but
they
didn't
qualify,
they
didn't
qualify
because
there's
a
medium
income
that
they
do
not
meet
in
my
community,
so
I
I
would
like
Senator
Palestina
to
go
back
and
maybe
raise
that
so
that
more
municipalities
can
benefit
from
that
NPR
program.
Because
it's
very
helpful.
It's
been
helpful.
Another
discount
because,
unfortunately
buying
this
copy
can
utilize
that
for
a
drink.
C
Okay,
you
have
obviously
the
Statewide
perspective
on
this,
but
your
your
great
new
local
issues-
you're
very
involved
here.
How
do
you
feel
about
you
know
how
the
government
should
help
support?
You
know
businesses,
entrepreneurs
or
all
that
engine
there
I
saw
Janice
Sully
just
run
over
to
Joe
Berg
staffing
company
trying
to
help
out,
but
I
mean
local
government's
got
to
do
the
basic
functions
of
local
government.
I
mean
that's
what
local
government
has
to
do.
It's
got
even
lots
of
Public
Safety.
It's
got
to
provide
for
Public
Works
to
pick
up.
C
Trash
got
to
provide
you
getting
plates
on
me.
Communities
are
clean
and
lit
and
safe,
and
that
or
those
are
the
primary
functions
of
local
government
has
got
to
take
on
I
mean
just
get
back
to
the
basis
and
provide
basic
functions
of
local
governments
need
to
do,
and
then
you
can
build
from
there.
If
there's
a
you
know,
situations
where
you
can
help
with
you
know,
playing
and
Zoning
or
trying
to
get
people
through
the
process
quicker.
C
Obviously,
those
of
you
who
are
involved
as
I
am
as
Engineers
looking
at
this
state
and
looking
at
the
regulatory
environment
of
the
state.
There
are
ways
where
local
governments
can
try
to
help
projects
get
through
the
process.
One
of
the
things
developers
you
know
Builders
want
to
see
is
just
certain
the
entire
they
just
don't
want
to
get
drug
out
for
eternity
trying
to
get
things
approved
and
permanency
get
each
other
from
the
ground.
So
there
are
things
that
local
government
can
do
along
those
in.
C
E
B
E
I
think
that
is
something
that
actually
you
know,
folks
that
are
in
local
government.
County
government
do
and
should
do
and
I
think
you
know
not
to
say
that
studies
side
up
well,
but
I
I,
think
oftentimes
basic.
You
know
funding
Workforce,
Development
issues
right
all
of
those
things
and
since
when
you
make
the
cognitive
you
know
people
you
know
that
you
see
that
for
help.
You
know
for
higher
jobs
in
this.
E
This
is
like
a
classic
case
of
you
know
someone
just
needing
to
make
bring
these
two
together
and
I
think
to
some
extent,
to
the
extent
that
you
have
people
who
need
bodies,
I
think
who
actually
checking
what
they
want
to
work
and
want
a
job.
You
know
that
seems
like
it's
such
an
easy
thing
to
do,
but
it
oftentimes
I
think
it's
it's
not
as
easy
as
we
can
pick.
C
F
Small
businesses
and
entrepreneurs,
I
I,
think
the
Senator
Senator
Bob
Stana
is
right
on
he's
an
engineer
he's
been
there.
He
understands
how
it
happens.
I
don't
know
if
you
see
that
ad
on
TV
about
coming
to
North
Dakota
of
South
Dakota
come
here.
We're
business
friendly
Etc,
which
Bring
Your
Overcoat.
B
F
It's
business
credit
and
it's
pencil
tell
you
as
an
engineer:
I
have
a
wonderful
project.
I
got
a
guy
with
plenty
of
money
with
fashion
that
wants
to
come
in
through
our
area.
Well,
not
local
government
or
County
government.
Stop
it.
It's
state
government.
You
have
to
jump
through
so
many
Hoops
get
so
many
permits
and
the
time
that
it
takes
is
forever
so.
Consequently,
it
disturbishes
people
from
coming
in,
but
the
Aviation
Park.
Let's
go
back
to
it.
F
To
get
these
big
corporations
to
come
in
what
a
sales
job
we
had
to
do
with
the
highest
tax
state
in
the
country.
Why
come
to
New
Jersey?
That's
what
the
state
government
has
to
do
lower
our
taxes,
make
a
business
friendly,
stop
having
the
junk
food
Hoops
just
to
get
the
permit.
You'll
have
people
say
well,
I
wanted
to
put
this
thing
together
and
where
is
it
well
we're
still
sitting
in
the
trying
to
get
through
podcasts?
Not
that
Highlands
is
a
good
idea.
I
think
it
should
be
reservation
but
holy
Mackle.
F
You
know
you
stop
and
look
when
I
say
to
myself
what
are
they
doing
over
there?
There
are
states
that
are
extraordinarily
succession.
Well,
why
are
they
well?
What's
Texas
still,
what's
Florida
North
Carolina
doing
successful,
States
that
people
want
to
go
to
that
want
to
live
in?
It's
not
just
the
sunshine.
F
It's
easy
to
get
yourself
started,
and
in
this
state
it
is
I'm
not
going
to
say
next
to
Impossible,
because
people
are
successful,
but
until
we
streamline
because
Vince
has
said
that
it's
always
streamlining
the
process
he's
an
engineer,
he
can
do
a
whole
set
on
our
own.
Why
it's
difficult
to
do
business
in
New,
Jersey
and,
unfortunately,
the
county
is
one
of
her.
You
know
21
enemies
that
makes
up
the
state
of
New
Jersey,
we're
all
in
the
same
boat
in
the
state
and
it's
unfortunate
absolutely
we'll
move
over
to
the
next
topic.
D
This
is
this
is
a
good
project
and
one
we
are
very
much
looking
forward
to
another
we're
completing
a
streetscaping
phase,
three
section
of
New
Jersey
Avenue
in
Absecon,
which
is
State
funding
on
accounting
road
that
will
benefit
our
private
businesses
so
that
we
have
a
partnership
of
three.
So
again,
these
are
possible
things
that
are
happening
in
some
of
my
community.
C
So
obviously
we
talked
about
a
lot
of
the
Investments.
A
lot
of
the
industry
is
one
of
the
other
key
projects
that
we
have
worked
on.
We
started.
We
did
get
some
funding
from
the
state
budget.
This
past
budget
cycle
is
to
improve
the
traffic
situation
for
those
who
have
been
here
for
a
while
at
the
Yorkshire
Mall
Bradley
shopping
center.
You
know
that
the
fact
that
you
can
make
left-hand
turns
out
either
one
of
those
shopping.
Centers
has
a
negative
impact
on
both
of
those
areas.
Obviously,
we've
seen
some
decline.
C
You
know
half
the
Shore
mall
with
demolished.
Fortunately,
the
county
stepped
in
at
St
Boscov's.
Without
their
intervention,
it
might
not
even
have
hostile
as
a
digital
mall,
but
we
got
to
get
that
traffic
situation
approved.
So
we
move.
What
we're
going
to
do
is
move
the
signal
from
where
it
is
currently
tied
to
the
intersectional
West
Jersey
avenue
at
the
top
of
the
hill
closer
to
bend
Chevy.
We're
then
going
to
also
provide
a
direct
access.
C
If
you're
going
Southbound
on
the
Garden
State
Parkway,
you
get
off
Exit
36,
you
can
get
right
into
the
Shore
mall
area
and
you'll
be
able
to
navigate
between
both
shopping
centers
and
we'll
also
connect
bike
from
The
hamilton-touch
Vapor
capture
side
over
the
classical
side.
So
there's
a
number
of
improvements
right
kind
of
at
the
core
of
the
county
that
we're
looking
at
as
a
key
infrastructure
project.
I
think
it's
about
20
million
dollars.
C
We
started
the
process
of
getting
State
funding
to
improve
that
situation
because
we
have
to
you
know:
we've
got
to
create
a
more
vibrant
area
there
where
you
can
be
outside
navigate
between
shops
has
needs,
have
some
you
know,
hopefully,
music
or
something
sort
of
like
a
Promenade
in
Marlton.
It's
got
to
be
a
better
situation.
So
that's
one
of
the
key
projects.
We
have
also
been
working
on
because
that's
one
of
my
pet
projects
to
make
sure
we
get
those
intersections
approved
and
create
a
more
broad
vibrant
destination
in
the
center
of
the
county.
C
F
Atlantic
County
is
not
very
unique
in
this.
What
I
want
to
say
is
when
you
see
many
of
our
roads
and
these
air
in
terms,
why
would
anybody
design
it
this
way?
Well,
we
didn't
really
design
it
that
way.
The
Indians
did
what
Indian
Trails
and
then
with
stage
coaches,
and
they
just
took
that
and
put
McAdam
over,
and
that
was
your
wrote.
It
out
was
designed
in
fact,
how
it
wasn't
designed
they
just
took
what
was
and
improved
upon
them.
F
B
F
F
You
know
our
family
followers
that
did
not
give
us
efficient
government.
They
gave
us
government
that
governs
close
to
the
people
and
that's
why
you
have
a
federal
government.
You
have
the
state
government,
you
have
a
County
government,
you
also
have
your
Municipal
governments
and
inside
of
them
you
have
all
these
autonomous
authorities,
it's
very,
very
difficult
to
govern
in
this
state.
C
Well
and
I
think
we
have
time
to
one
more
round,
so
I
I
wanted
to
get
into
just
the
challenges
that
you
all
see
and
some
of
the
you
know
and
I
know
we
talk
a
lot
about
some
of
the
solutions,
some
of
the
efforts
going
on
around,
but
just
broadly
you
know
both
you
know
nationally
and
just
in
your
you
know
your
jurisdiction.
What
are
some
of
the
main
challenges
you
see
and
you
know
something
I
think
the
most
excited
about.
You
know
the
problems
being
made
well.
D
D
We
need
to
support
our
officers.
I
I,
you
know
the
frustration
from
my
chief
I
hear
it
all
the
time
and
I.
My
father
was
a
captain
in
the
state
police
and
my
brother
was
a
State
Trooper,
so
I'm
from
a
police,
family
and
I
don't
want
to
defund
the
police.
I
want
to
empower
them.
I
want
them
to
get
the
resources
they
need,
and
at
this
point
our
numbers
are
down
and
this
certain
about
ourselves.
D
Know
that
you're
excited
about
going
on
now,
just
it's
just
that
it
grows.
You
know
again.
Our
White
Horse,
like
her
is
building
we're
getting
a
Chipotle
in
town,
we're
about
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
know,
I
feel
we're
we're
just
excited
about
the
various
things
that
we're
holding.
We
just
held
our
quick
vest,
which
was
very
successful
event
in
our
community.
D
Young
people
want
to
move
municipalities
where
there's
things
for
them
to
do
it's
not
just
being
your
basic
home.
They
want
to
know
what's
going
on
in
your
community,
so
they're
looking
for
opportunities
and
so
and
so
I
think
I
have
a
wonderful
community
of
theirs
group
that
we're
constantly
coming
up
with
Innovative
and
neat
things
for
a
lot
of
people.
Investments,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
that.
C
Senator
Palestinian,
what
are
something
you
got?
Do
you
have
an
interesting
view
of
meeting
the
state
lawmaker
but
again
being
like
you're,
very
agreeing
to
your?
What
are
some
of
the
main
challenges
you
see,
kind
of
broadly
also,
you
know
as
well
as
localized
and
I
mean
some
things
you're
excited
about
going
on
here,
because
they
have
to
go
to
the
mayor's
calls
on
the
support
law
enforcement.
Incredibly
critical
to
the
future
of
our
society
we
have
to
do
in
society
will
improve.
We've
got
to
reverse
this
discourse,
where
we're
not
supporting.
C
Inflation,
you
know,
is
hurting
everyone.
You
know
here.
Nationwide
we've
got
to
get
this
inflationary
period
under
control.
Other
policies
coming
out
of
D.C
have
caused
it,
but
we
also
got
support
parents.
You
know
a
parental
role
in
children's
lives.
That
is
a
lot
of
what
you
hear
a
trending,
some
view
that
we
should
limit
the
role
of
parents
in
children's
lives
can't
happen.
Things
cannot
get
better
if
we
don't
improve
parents
ability
to
be
notified
about
the
child's
lives
and
be
involved,
and
then
honestly,
finally,
energy
policy,
I,
think
I.
C
Think
everybody
in
this
room
probably
realizes
that
the
notion
that
we're
going
to
have
all
electric
vehicles
by
2035.,
it's
ridiculous.
It
can't
happen.
You
know
one
of
the
big
infrastructure
projects
that
we'll
see
if
it
happens
that
we've
been
talking
about
here,
a
lot
with
the
offshore
wind
we'll
see,
because
the
economics
are
very
difficult,
but
from
an
energy
standpoint
we
don't
have
the
power
to
have
all
electric
vehicles.
C
We
don't
have
the
capital
to
have
everyone
purchasing
electric
vehicles,
our
roads,
our
bridges
like
Annie,
talked
about
the
miles
of
Roads,
the
number
of
bridges.
The
weight
limits
on
some
of
these
things
have
not
been
constructed
to
withstand
some
of
the
weight
we
had
with
these
two
vehicles,
the
fires
that
are
created
by
these
vehicles.
Now
we
have
one
of
these
fires
and
one
of
our
parking
garages
over
the
city
of
Atlantic,
City
and
all
of
a
sudden
we're
going
to
have
a
whole
different
conversation
on
energy
policy.
C
So
I
think
you
know
challenges
from
from
that
standpoint
really
could
have
an
honest
conversation
about
energy
in
the
state.
How
do
we
reduce
it?
How
can
we
diverse
and
buy
it?
How
can
we
have
and
all
the
above
approach,
because
not
one
way
is
going
to
handle
them
terms
of
in
terms
of
our
benefits?
I
mean
I,
think
we
talked
about
in
that,
but
obviously
four
pillars.
E
E
E
Not
to
stay
I
mean
I
have
I,
have
this
kind
of
unique
perspective
where
I
get
to
advise
20
30
second
graduates
every
year
and
I,
see
folks
that
are
I
teach
the
senior
Castile
program
at
economics,
department
and
so
I.
Have
these
conversations
you
know
what
are
you?
What
are
you
going
to
do?
What
do
you
know
where
are
they
many
of
these
stupid
stock
that
are
a
fairly
Regional,
wise
students?
You
know-
and
this
is
this-
is
a
challenge
right.
B
E
This
is
the
the
actual
job
is,
especially
as
it
relates
to
like
the
professional
you
know.
Job
base
has
been
so
limited
for
so
long,
and
so
they
naturally
you
know,
go
to
New
York
Philly.
You
know
that
so
and
again
to
go
back
to
my
cup.
That's
not
going
to
happen
overnight.
Right,
that's
going
to
be
a
slow
build
out
from
what
people
talk
about.
You
know
like
Vader
has
been
in
the
news,
and
you
know
the
aviation
parties
are
eight
nine
ten
years
of
bailouts
right.
E
These
are
not
going
to
happen
overnight.
So
that's
true,
and
so
it's
almost
comments
about
the
casino
New
York
and
they
end
up
seeing
the
organization.
It's
almost
like
a
race.
In
some
sense,
you
know
and
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
out
here
feel
that
way.
I
feel
that
way,
but
I
think
if
we
stay
the
course
with
these
four
pillars,
we
continue
to
make
investments
and
think
big.
Think
it's
a
big
County.
It's
a
lot
more
than
the
reliable
right
that
there's
opportunities.
F
F
B
F
B
F
F
F
My
County
lock
on
the
Justice
Facility,
not
a
jail,
it's
a
mental
institution
in
many
cases,
so
we
have
to
take
a
look
at
the
root
causes.
First
thing
we
do.
Unfortunately,
we
can't
help
everybody,
you
break
the
law,
you're
going
to
jail
and
that's
what
it
comes
down
to
right
now.
You
know
if
I
only
steal
a
certain
amount,
I'm
not
going
to
jail.
Will
you
be
that
shop
owner
with
people
coming
in
every
day
and
stealing
a
watch
you're,
stealing
this
or
stealing
that
it
can't
survive?
F
So
I
guess
the
first
thing
we
could
do
as
a
group
is
petition
the
state
government
to
either
reform
or
throw
out
mailing
form.
It's
awful
and
you
arrest
these
guys
talk
to
any
police
officer.
They'll.
Tell
you
the
rest
of
this
guy
15
times.
It's
the
same
one
all
the
time.
Now.
What
do
the
Cubs
do?
You
can't
blame
them,
I'm
not
going
to
bother
them
just
going
to
keep
driving
by
act
like
they
didn't
see
it.
F
So
this
is
what
you
have
right
now
and
it's
an
unfortunate
circumstance
in
a
free
Society,
but
those
that
want
to
destroy
it,
get
more
benefits
than
those
of
us
that
have
worked
hard.
So
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
petition
your
state
representatives,
I
talked
to
the
senator
Palestine
about
it,
he's
as
frustrated
as
I
am
one
guy,
but
we
need
more
than
one
that's
going
to
decide
who
are
going
to
reform.
F
F
By
the
way
nobody's
in
a
better
partner
than
convincing
this
and
I
have
had
elected
officials.
It
ain't
going
to
work.
It's
a
terrible
idea.
It
can't
possibly
and
he's
still
trying
to
destroy
the
bottom
line
here.
Is
it
is
working,
it's
our
future,
everybody
and
it's
not
Atlantic
city-centric,
it's
Atlantic
counter-centric
and
we're
all
going
to
benefit,
and
while
we're
talking
about
it,
we
have
Dr
Galvin
here
in
the
room,
she's
adjusted
her
curriculum
for
Aviation,
the
acit,
our
Institute
of
Technology
adjusted
their
curriculum.
So
these
kids
can
give
themselves
a
decent
job.
