Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small says he remains committed to his family and to his city as he deals with charges that he and his wife abused their teenage daughter. In his first public comments since prosecutors on Monday charged him and his wife, LaQuetta, the city’s superintendent of schools, with abusing their 16-year-old daughter and endangering her welfare, Small said he would not be distracted from his duties. He told an audience at a gambling conference that his situation is personal. He said he will work with the gambling industry and all levels of government to prepare the city for the upcoming challenge of casinos in New York City.
