Atlantic City has a new mayor today. Problem is, the old one isn't leaving just yet.

Lorenzo Langford, who won the election last week, had his victory certified by the county Board of Elections on Tuesday, even though government offices were closed. The certification was to be delivered to City Hall this morning.

But Scott Evans, who has been mayor for nearly a year and lost the Democratic primary to Langford in June, says he will remain as mayor until Langford holds a public swearing-in ceremony on Thursday.
