Former AC Mayor Lorenzo Langford Calls For Investigation Relating to Reported Bribery Charges Involving Scott Evans

-Atlantic City

The former Mayor and candidate for Mayor of Atlantic City, Lorenzo Langford, held a Press Conference today, April 30, 2008, 12:00 Noon at North Carolina and Atlantic Avenues in the park directly across from the Langford for Mayor Headquarters, where serious matters of public corruption were addressed.

"We now have two public officials, Dominic Cappella and Councilman At-Large George Tibbitt, who have come forward to report that bribes have been offered by the campaign of Scott Evans, which are direct and deliberate attempts to improperly affect the free and fair elective process in Atlantic City", said Lorenzo Langford.

"These are the very same acts of corruption that our citizens have fought so hard to rid our city of during the past two years", said Langford.

"People must be free to support and vote for the candidates whom they can believe in. The citizens of Atlantic City deserve a Mayor who will continue to root out the corruption and misconduct of the previous two years".

"Only then, will we have a government in Atlantic City that will inspire confidence to our residents, tourists, business people and future investors to our city" said Langford.

"It is unacceptable to utilize positions of public trust in an effort to pervert our system of laws. I am calling on the County Prosecutor, State Attorney General, the Office of Government Integrity and the Federal Bureau of Investigations to launch an immediate probe to investigate, and if necessary to prosecute these very serious reported acts of corruption", concluded Langford.
