Levy out on medical leave

A spokesman for embattled Atlantic City Mayor Bob Levy this afternoon said that the mayor is out on “medical leave.”

Spokesman Nicholas Morici said he did not know when Levy would return, and directed all other inquiries regarding rumors of a federal probe involving Levy to his attorney.

Morici said he last spoke to the mayor on Wednesday.

Acting as mayor in Levy’s absence is Atlantic City Business Administrator Dominic Cappella, who relayed the information to Morici.
