Dude is bad news. Need to win an election in AC and/or South Jersey? Better call Craig Callaway. Make sure to place your order early, and stroke a big check for Craig. He's the man that magically delivers thousand of votes... that all lean the same way. No matter how good or bad of a candidate you are. Craig Callaway: ex-con who legally exploits current election law in Atlantic City and South Jersey. He's really good at it, too. Puts big bucks into his pockets....and shitty politicians into office. Listen to clips from WPG Radio, Harry Hurley & Craig Callaway: Click to listen. Craig Callaway: the man who brought you AC Mayor Frank Gilliam. Yup. The same Frank Gilliam recently forced from office and facing jail time for stealing money from a youth sports league. Callaway on Gilliam: “I regret that I didn’t do more homework on Frank Gilliam.” Craig Callaway is a poor judge of character. HASSAN CALLAWAY was good choice for Pleasantville school board? He missed half the meetings. Cra

King Arthur Radio Show notes from ACprimetime news update. King Arthur Radio Show and Podcast. WIBG. 1020am. Feb 10, 2018. Gilliams Island parody. Gilliam in Vegas to study weed. Atlantic City Crime. Recent stabbing on Tennessee Ave. 10K Frank. Kudos to AC Mayor Frank Gilliam. On Monday night at the IRISH PUB, Gilliam entered the lions cage and faced his accusers. The DEM committee wanted to know how he intercepted a 10K check from the Atlantic County DEMS, that was supposed to go to Atlantic City DEMS….and NOT to Frank’s personal campaign acct. Wow. An event not to be missed. Everybody was there. Council president Marty Small, Councilman Kool Mo Dee, better known as Mo Delgado, Jeff Fauntleroy too. Plenty of media, but the Press of AC, and other local media did NOT report on the substantial in-fighting between the DEMS of the City and the County. The Press of AC ignored the major head line: Gilliam called the County a LIAR. Did Big Frank use Mr Jeff Fauntleroy as an enforcer? That’s what Craig Callaw

The Atlantic City Democratic Committee under the leadership of Joyce Mollineaux, is in turmoil over a missing $10,000 check. Seems like the check ended up in Frank Gilliam's bank account, instead of the Atlantic City Democratic Committee . Questions remain: How did Gilliam allegedly get a $10,000 check meant for the Atlantic City Democratic committee? Why did Gilliam allegedly sign the check? Did Gilliam deposit check into his own acct? Will Gilliam & Joyce Mollineaux correct the situation? Listeners to the Kevin Hall Radio Show asked: why so much mishandling of money? It was brought to Joyce Mollineaux's attention that a $10,000 check was roaming around out there. It was supposed to come to us. From Kevin Hall Radio show: We worked very hard to win. Committee members found out many were not paid. We gotta get to the bottom of this. Where is the money? We knew it was cashed because we saw the elect reports. It was written out to us, and we saw the signature and it was not our treasurer or our chai

The infamous PILOT bill is finally being challenged. Liberty & Prosperity, a constitutional advocacy group lead by Seth Grossman, has teamed up with Atlantic County Exec Denny Levinson. Both sides presented arguments in front of Superior Court Judge Mendez on Nov 30. Both are convinced that the PILOT is un-constitutional. Grossman, a Somers Point attorney and former Atlantic City councilman, refers to the PILOT as 'Payment in Lieu of Peanuts Taxes.'  The goal of the Casino PILOT was to stabilize Atlantic City’s tax-collection base. Wildly inaccurate assessments contributed to Atlantic City's near bankruptcy and eventual state take-over. The PILOT bill allows casinos to collectively pay $120 million per year instead of actual property taxes and allows them to upgrade their properties without tax implications. County Exec Denny Levinson said Seth Grossman was outstanding in front of Judge Mendez. 'He was terrific.' The current PILOT allows a private entity to gaining at the expense of the average taxpayer. No

Release that audio! Atlantic City Councilman George Tibbitt wants the Harry Hurley Radio show to post a recent show featuring the infamous Craig Callaway interview. Is Hurley Radio producer, Chris Coleman, manipulating the media? WPG Radio Producer, Chris Coleman Pay for play & promotion. Small market radio stations are notorious for cheap access to the airwaves. Political candidates can buy large blocks of airtime to 'talk' with the host. Some believe this allows for biased political coverage. Would a radio host favor a deep pocketed advertiser who happens to be a political candidate? To be sure, all media is biased to some extent. But some more so than others. Nov 6 Update: It took close to 3 days, but one of the Hurley audio clips was finally uploaded on Nov 5. A clip featuring mark Padula vs Mayor Guardian was taken down, and is still down as of Nov 6.  Listen to it below.... Hurley: Guardian vs Padula.

Listen to the podcast: Having favorable local radio and newspaper coverage can really come in handy. Just ask Atlantic City Mayor, Don Guardian. Listen to clips from WIBG King Arthur Radio...and Harry Hurley Radio. The Mayor's seat on the local Planning Board is a powerful position to hold. Especially in regard to the Flagship Resort. Did the Flagship Resort, donating 10's of thousands of dollars to the Guardian campaign, get preferential treatment? Media Manipulation of Mayoral Race. Bias of Atlantic City Radio and Newspaper. Pay for Play. Show Notes: Mayor Don Guardian not used to people calling him out. A story that should have received media scrutiny, was ignored or glossed over. Mainly, it was diverted to another narrative. Callers to WOND Radio suggested that the Mayor played ‘gay card’. Trapped in a corner, unable to answer the question, fired back with accusations and put-downs of a private citizen Former Atlantic City Councilman Schultz doing prison time. The AC elite.

Listen to the ACprimetime podcast. Back on OCT. 16, 2017, there was a debate between NJ State Senator Colin Bell and Assemblyman Chris Brown. It was held on WOND Radio, a small AM station in the Atlantic City area. Coincidentally… a struggling radio station that’s up for sale. Both candidates want your vote to be a NJ State Senator for the next 4 years. BrownFactCheck.com Here are some clips from the recent radio debate between Senator Bell & Assemblyman Brown. Fair warning: I'm not playing and commenting on these clips to sway your vote. Rather…. I hope you’ll see that FAKE NEWS and BIASED NEWS is a real problem. Not just at the national level…… but especially here at the local level. Biased media is a real problem, especially when the local news radio station….is partnered with the local newspaper. The Atlantic City news radio station is up for sale. The local newspaper is bleeding readers and advertisers. Kinda creepy…..a little too comfortable relationship between the moderator…and Assemblyman B

How did a small concert with a very checkered past, get booked in the LARGE Boardwalk Hall? Was it sharp negotiating by the producer? Was it the lack of concert savvy by the CRDA? Or was it something else? Listen to the ACprimetime Radio Podcast. We talk with Amanda Thomas of Boardwalk Entertainment. Amanda Thomas of Boardwalk Entertainment Michael Salvanto of Songbird Entertainment teamed up with North Jersey cousin Nick Conti to present a Boardwalk Hall concert on Saturday, November 11, 2017. The line-up is WAR, Asia featuring John Payne, and Journey former lead vocalist, Steve Augeri. This show was originally slated for Bader Field. But that fizzled. The triple-bill was also scheduled to take place in Wildwood, but was cancelled at the last minute. Who's at fault? What's the real reason for the cancellation? Wildwood commissioner Pete Byron, said he was 'kept in the dark' about the status of the Songbird Entertainment concert, produced by Michael Salvanto. Salvanto's explanation of past concert mis-s

Margate residents want a stop to the dangerous, harmful and un-needed dune work on their beaches. Packed house this morning, inside special Margate Commissioner Meeting at Old City Hall. Commissioners will hire outside counsel to file injunction against the NJ Department of Environmental Protection and the Army Corp of Engineers. Jordan Rand of Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg will represent the city. “Stop the project until the ARMY CORP can prove competence” The Army Corps of Engineers and DEP have pumped out most of the contaminated water from the drainage gully. The water has been pumped to the other side of dune. Suffering irreparable harm. Will Margate sue for damages? Pumping contaminated water into the surf. Margate & Ventnor beach patrols have to patrol hidden areas behind the dunes. One Margate lifeguard has been home sick , reportedly from a bacterial infection caused by the contaminated water. Bulldoze the whole stupid dune system. Stop the Army Corp from wasting taxpayer dollars. Nobody w

Will Margate consider legal action against the State, ARMY CORP and DEP? They will consider emergency authorization to institute possible legal action against NJ DEP - New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Army Corp of Engineers. Commissioners will discuss hiring special counsel to file injunction to stop the dunes project. Is the Army Corp scrambling to bring in pumps to drain these hazardous pools of stagnant water trapped between the bulkheads & dunes ? “Older people can’t get through, and families with children are pulling their beach chairs through this bacteria-laden swamp. We didn’t even have this after Hurricane Sandy. What if a child walks in there and drowns?

Podcast notes: Take a look at the Absecon Island Dune Project thru the prism of no pain…no gain. Risk & reward. Cost vs benefit. Atlantic City needed some work, but Margate and Ventnor did not. We all know that to achieve greatness, you need to sacrifice. Give stuff up. Be patient. Invest. Hold back. Delayed gratification. Go thru hell and back to achieve an outcome……worth that hell. Sometimes, bad medicine can produce a great outcomes. Good things come to those who wait. As a kid looking to get rid of buck teeth & and horrible overbite, Wearing braces, enduring years of being called tinsel teeth. But then you can finally smile big and bright with straight teeth.

UBER, the ride-hailing app has disrupted the taxi, Jitney and limo industry in Atlantic City. Will AirBnB do the same to the local hotel and rooming industry? Can Atlantic City leverage this fast growing trend, or will the State of NJ step in and control it, much like they did with UBER. What does Atlantic City Councilman Jesse Kurtz think about AirBnB, the popular short-term, home rental platform? Listen to the ACprimetime podcast interview. Should we let it grow organically with no City Hall intrusion? Or should AirBnB be properly licensed to ensure safety and quality of life for the neighborhoods of AC?

Dune building, dredging and beach bulldozers are getting ready for Summer 2017. Atlantic City needs it near the inlet. Margate tried to fight it and lost. Ventnor recently tried to dis-invite the DEP & Army Corp from invading their Downbeach shores at the same time summer visitors were arriving. Listen to the ACprimetime Radio podcast for MAY 5, 2017. We talk with Ventnor Commisioner Lance Landgraf about this unfortunate situation that begins on June 8.

Robin Scott of Ray Scott's Dock in Margate Proposed regulations using faulty research could put another nail in the coffin for flounder fishing along the South Jersey shore. New proposed regulations would force people to throw back any flounder less than 19 inches. Those 19 inch flounder are the female breeders. Regulators want the mama flounders to be the keepers. It doesn’t make sense. Listen to the Fish Jersey Shore Podcast for April 21, 2017. Robin Scott of in Margate is not backing down. She, along with Dick Herb, Chairman of the Marine Fisheries Council, and Bucktail Willie aka Bill Shillingford were guests on the recent Shep on Fishing radio show on WOND Radio. They have steam coming out of their gills.... I mean ears..... as they impatiently wait for a May 10 decision that could destroy the summer flounder season for recreational fishermen. SHEP ON FISHING Show notes: Second biggest industry in New Jersey. Fishing. Makes sense. We're next to a lot of water…fresh & salt Who wants to kill this critic

Bigelow Can't Count Fish? SHOW NOTES:  It's the Fish Jersey shore podcast for the week of April 8, 2017 Fishing, boating, crabbing along South Jersey shore. Atlantic City, Brigantine, Margate, Longport, Ventnor, Somers Point & Absecon. FishJerseyShore.com. South Jersey party boats and businesses that deal with fishing are under attack by inaccurate, inappropriate and un-needed regulation. Here are some audio clips from the great SHEP on Fishing radio show…. that very few people get to hear every week… The Jersey flounder stock assessment is flawed? Can we trust the research boat 'Bigelow'? If your livelihood is fishing and boating, you should be concerned about the Bigelow research vessel. Did the Bigelow properly set it’s nets? Poor fishing by the Bigelow…leads to poor data? National Marine fisheries service. NOAA. Will President TRUMP get rid of agencies like these? Scaring away fishermen, especially the new kids coming up. Scaring away fishermen and families to southern states like Delaware or down to J

From the recent Margate Commissioner meetings: I remember when they were putting dunes in Ventnor. Hellish noise, night and day. It was like the hammers of hell, pounding away. Could these be the sweet sounds of Summer 2017 in Margate and Ventnor? Listen to public comments: dredging & dune building from recent Margate City Commissioners meeting. Those weekend warriors that come down here, who are paying $40-$50,000 dollars in taxes. They want peace and quiet. If you don't deliver it, your ass is grass. Rachel Bogoten of Margate: Please consider putting off dune building til after summer. Really grateful for our seasonal residents. If it wasn't for them paying the freight, and a big share of the taxes, I certainly wouldn't be able to afford to live here and enjoy what we have all year long. But I'm afraid they're gonna freak out when  they see the bulldozers and hear the noise. https://youtu.be/fZ1I4uphFlw John Sewell of Margate: You can't sit on your hands, Go see the Governor. Strongly urge an injunction,

Lance Landgraf & Mel Taylor AC Primetime Radio PODCAST: Why does Atlantic City's Tourism District need it's own Master Plan and zoning rules? No better person to ask than Lance Landgraf, Director of Planning for the CRDA - Casino Reinvestment Development Authority. Listen to the ACprimetime Radio Podcast interview from March 17, 2017. Here are some items & questions discussed: What does a CRDA Director of Planning do? What is a Master plan? What is ZONING? Why is it so important? How does your work as CRDA Director of Planning…. compare or differ from what Elizabeth Terenik does… as the City of Atlantic City’s Director of Planning? Is there overlap? Maybe some friendly conflict on occasion? Master plans are updated approximately every 10 years. Last one for the Atlantic City Tourism District was 5 years ago. Share a specific example of what NEW… POSITIVE stuff can be done….with a new Tourism District masterplan. Gardner’s Basin & Caspian Point are two Atlantic City areas RIPE for development, especially
