[> Evans not totally honest -- LA, 14:41:01 02/22/08 Fri [1]

But Evans is working with Callaway family members and supporters. And rehired them back. So what does that make him? Langfford, noticed his mistake and fired him. But that is different because Langford is different, right?
Basicly, you want any and all Callaway supporters and friends not to be nowhere near there.
His firemen friends are not to happy with Evans right now for siding with them. Then perhaps Evans could be wearing a wire to trap them. Evans is in trouble for his taxes on his property. Or did you forget about that?

I think many people forget that there were thousands ofother Atlantic City Residents that supported what was "The Callaway Organization". Needless to say, they are all disappointed (and many are mad) about what happened to so many of the people they supported. However, the peoplethat supported the Callaway team are still a majority in AC, and they don't want Langford or Callaway back in power. What made it so easy for Bob Levy to win was the fact that Langford was so bad. Evans has only been in office a couple of months, and I (and many others) like him better than Langford, Callaway or even Whelan. I think most AC residents are willing to give him another year.

He's still owned and operated by Callaway! He's appointed at least 4 Callaway family members to his administration! Doesn't that prove something! A man who took bribes from the minute he was in office, is still controlling the city. If Evans REALLY was free of any Callaway influence, wouldn't he NOT appoint Callaway family members to jobs! It's common sense. He's allowing Callaway to run the city from behind bars. Remember when Callaway was president of council? Everyone thought he was also doing a good job until we found out about the bribes. What is happening or what is going to happen with Evans? We don't know. All we know is he's STILL linked at the hip with Callaway. He's got to go. I agree that Langford isn't the answer but rest assured someone else from council will run. Ward or Tibbitts would be better than anyone so far.

Ok Lets get rid of all the Callaways and while we are at it lets clean house and get rid of Mike Matthew�s friends and family then we�ll go after Jim Usry�s family and friends then will get Jackson and Somers people. We can go all the way back to Tommy Taggart and Joe Altman, and don�t forget Lanford & Speedy�s group, you know they can�t be trusted.
Whelan never addressed the taxes so the homeowners wouldn�t be hit hard now. So he ought to be run out of town. Lets see that leaves about five people in City Hall and about 11 people who just moved into town. Let someone in town pickup the first stone.

Evans is the best thing to happen to AC in a long time. He's smart, dedicated and has the best interest of the city at heart, not lining his pockets. Langford wants another bite of the apple. God help the taxpayers if he ever got back in office.

Even on his best behavior, he's beholden to Callaway. He's named four of Callaway's relatives to positions in the city. Once he's actually elected (remember, he appointed himself mayor), Callaway willl be back in business in AC. He'll be running the city from behind bars and Evans will be his puppet. Can't anyone see that????

Nobody but nobody forgets that Langford and not Evans created the Callaway and friends and family cartel.Langford used it to defeat Whelan and then royally screwed Callaway. That fact cannot be muted or changed. That's history. Callaway is in jail for the forseeable future. The authorities and locals know that there is no longer a Callaway cartel so put that boogeyman in the closet and hang it up. That dog won't hunt any more.

There certainly is a Callaway machine still alive and well. That's exactly how Evans got the mayoral job. How short your memory is! It was a put-up job to get one of 3 Callaway butt buddies into the mayor's chair. It didn't matter which one, just one. And Evans was the one! He's as corrupt as Callaway. The plan is to get him elected for a four-year term, so that by the time Callaway gets out of jail in 4 years, he's back in as King of AC. He doesn't even have to be elected. He'll have the best of both worlds. Wake up! The Callaway stain is not gone, it's spreading!!!

Despite challenges, Evans was declared the legitimate choice of the AC Democratic Committee who voted him into office much to the Langford element's dismay. Evans corrupt?? He has never done an illegal thing in or out of office. If anyone has evidence to the contrary, let them turn that info into the Atlantic County Prosecutor or shut up! As far as Callaway coming out of the slammer and resuming politics the man isn't insane. He knows the consequences if he even steps one toe into that pool again. One trip to the pen is enough. Oh yeah..Evans never bilked the taxpayers out of a bogus settlement either. He earned every cent he made as a city employee the hard way as a firefighter. The pretenders to the throne can't find anything but the ghost of Callaway to try and do a smear job on Evans. It's pathetic and deplorable but in line with the lack of ethics of Evans opposition. Character assasination is their stock in trade. It marks them as the losers they are.

Wow what an active imagination! That Callaway prediction is up there with the UFO conspiracy! Callaway as a power broker? Laughable. His seat will be taken many times before he's out of jail and even then no politician in their right mind will have anything to do to connect themselves with him. Get real!He's Texas Toast! So's that "prediction."

He doesn't have to run for anything anymore. He's like Eddie DeNic. He now controls the voting process with the messenger and absentee ballots. Anyone who doesn't give him what he wants will not get those ballots in their column. That's why Evans hired four of his family members since he was crowned mayor by the Callaway machine. You can deny it all you want, but we're going to make sure that the REAL AC voters understand the connection between Evans and Callaway. It won't be pretty.

Eddie DiNick? LOL Another ghost of yesterday's politics !! Boooooooooo! He's powerless too!....Moreover who is this "WE" you refer to? And who are the "Real AC Voters?" Betcha' "WE' is you and all the "Other" AC voters are not you?? Or could your statement be construed as racist? "WE,"...."Real AC Voters" hmmmm? THAT'S not pretty. It's pathetic.

Using different names each time you post doesn't fool anyone. Didn't fool anyone at TOL, doesn't fool anyone here.

Paranoia anyone? Booooooo! Scary stuff huh? LOL!!! On the talk shows today a male caller asked Hurley II about his "settlement" during the Langford administration. Hurley hung up on him. On a later talk show a woman said she couldn't understand how anybody that owed the city so much money and was ordered by a judge to repay that money could run for the office of Mayor again. Beats me! Talk radio is getting more entertaining every day! Can't get this stuff anywhere else!
