Commentary

Dear Mr. Mayor, please ...

The voters of Atlantic City will select their next mayor on Nov. 3. Everyone in the region has a stake in how Atlantic City is run. What should be on the next mayor's agenda? What should be fixed in the city? What should be protected and nurtured? Please keep your comments to fewer than 100 words and focus on actions that a mayor can take. We will publish the best of the comments in early December and run them online at pressofAtlanticCity.com.
