Search for Casino Reinvestment Development Authority director could take four months

    It could take 120 days for the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to find a permanent director to lead Atlantic City’s state-run tourism district.

    But there’s a lot to get done in the meantime, and the powers that be disagree over how much can be accomplished without a director.
