EDITORIAL: Justification needed in removal of committee assignments | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
Schenectady City Council President John Mootooveren mishandled the removal of a council member from two committee assignments in not one, but two different ways Monday night.
Mootooveren announced Monday that he had removed Councilwoman Karen Zalewski-Wildzunas as a member of the city Finance Committee and as chair of the Planning and Development Committee.
One problem we have is with the decision itself. The second is with the secretive manner with which the news was delivered and the council president’s refusal to provide a reason to the public.
