Still can't find him. (I'm betting he's staying with Senator john kerry.
)
If and when they do find him will someone ask him how he intended to "bump up his veteran's benefits" by serving with the Green Berets? I'd like to "bump up" my veterans benefits also.
No, really, I did serve with the Army Special Forces! Really!

Atlantic City Mayor Bob Levy
TRENTON, N.J. — An Atlantic City councilman planned Friday to ask a state judge to decide whether the mysterious disappearance of the mayor meant that he had vacated the seat, according to a report.
Bruce Ward planned to file the paperwork Friday morning, the Press of Atlantic City reported. Atlantic City Mayor Bob Levy has been missing for days with no word on when he would come back.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Attorney's Office has launched a probe of Levy, making him yet another in a string of local officials to come under the scrutiny of law enforcement recently.
An official with knowledge of the case, who spoke anonymously because the investigation continues,
said the probe involves whether Levy's false claims to have served with the U.S. Army Green Berets in Vietnam were a ploy to bump up his veteran's benefits.
Official word from the Levy's office is that he is on an indefinite medical leave, with power transferred verbally from him to the city business administrator, Domenic Cappella. The Mayor's Office has refused to comment on Levy's reason for the medical leave.

Meanwhile, Assemblyman Jim Whelan, a former mayor, is saying that Levy, whom he called his best friend since the two were teenage lifeguards in this gambling mecca's beaches, should either explain why he's been gone or step down.
"You can't have this big mystery going on and have a functioning city government," Whelan said earlier this week.
Some residents are mystified about Levy's disappearance as well.
"What exactly is going on in this city?" resident Steve Young asked during a Wednesday night City Council meeting.
Levy acknowledged last year that he misrepresented his military service in the Vietnam War, conceding that he was never a member of the Army's elite Green Berets.
The Press of Atlantic City used military records that verified Levy was a 20-year Army veteran with two Bronze Stars and two tours of duty in Vietnam, but was not a member of the Army Special Forces.
