Mayor Guardian said he had every intention of discussing the deal with Atlantic City City Council before it was made public, but that didn't happen. When asked about Assembly Speaker Vinnie Prieto's noticeable absence at the press conference Tuesday, Guardian said the deal, "could all still blow up," since it appears that the state assembly is not yet on-board.
