Jane Hopey wants me Arrested

At the July 7, 2010 Work Session, Jane Hopey, my fellow Councilwoman wanted me arrested because I wanted to add a Motion to the Agenda to terminate the services of Attorney Ira Weiss for participating in unauthorized meetings in Southside and billing the Borough for it.

Max Junker of the Law Offices of Ira Weiss and Bob Nedzesky of WEC Engineers attended these unauthorized meetings in Southside at David Quatchak's office. These unauthorized meetings have been much publicized in the media. Ira Weiss has refunded $6,237.00 for his billings related to these meetings. WEC Engineers have not refunded any monies.

Instead of supporting me and punishing our Solicitor for participating in unauthorized meetings, Jane Hopey wanted me arrested for trying to have my Motion included in the Agenda for the July 21, 2010 meeting. Max Junker told us that I would be "Out of Order" for trying to make a Motion to terminate his services. At least I could understand Max Junker motive of self interest but I don't understand Jane Hopey for totally disregarding the interests of the Borough residents in favor of Max Junker.

My Motion to terminate the services of Solicitor Ira Weiss on July 21, 2010 was supported by Andrew Hrishenko. Voting against the Motion were Jane Hopey, Amy Sable and Richard Hartman with David Quatchak absent. The Motion to terminate the services of Attorney Ira Weiss failed.
