People seem to forget that without his power, the AC convention center might never have gotten built. And his insistence in putting it at the end of the expressway rather than at the end of the Boardwalk beyond Showboat turned out the be a godsend, in hindsight, given the development of the Walk and the Ducktown area.

His innovative legislation that allowed the casinos to recoup some of the money they spend on expansions and additions via CRDA credits was ingenious. Did not cost the public dime, but grew AC at a time when no casino would have expanded with such help.

No, he wasn't perfect, but he was as good as Farley was in his time.
