Doesn't seem to matter he is Republican or gay?

If he actually could solve the problems of Atlantic City, I doubt if any of the few die-hard Republicans there would care if he showed up to work in a party dress.

Sadly, this is how it works: Democrats work for decades to rot out a city, then a Republican takes over and gets blamed immediately for layoffs, cutbacks, and austerity.

"But before taking office, Atlantic City's new mayor began the day by attending a nondenominational service at St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church, where the Roman Catholic attends Mass.

Guardian, 60, walked down the aisle of St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church this morning with his partner, Louis Fatato, holding a pillow with the key to the city."

What a sick use of a Catholic Church. The Bishop should be ashamed!

There is absolutely no difference between a DemonRAT and a sodomite, regardless of the party label claimed by the homosexual.

Magic pill for Atlantic City: reduce personal taxes and reduce personal subsidies. There is a very convenient train line to Philly that will take away all the problems.

They do not make Republicans like Nucky down there anymore. Next season on Boardwalk Empire, Eddie Cantor becomes the boss.
