ALBANY — An independent arbitrator exonerated city police officer Matthew Seeber of all charges last week for his role in an incident on March 2019 on First Street.
In response, Mayor Kathy Sheehan wrote a letter to the state board that handles police arbitration, criticizing the arbitrator’s “racially biased conclusions,” and asking the board to stop using him.
