SCHENECTADY — A city councilwoman said she’s mulling her options for recourse after the City Council president relieved her of roles on two committees this week.
During a committee meeting on Monday, it was revealed that Council President John Mootooveren removed Karen Zalewski-Wildzunas as chairwoman of Planning and Development, and as a member of the Finance Committee.
In an interview following the meeting, Zalewski-Wildzunas denounced the moves as “arbitrary,” and she said it had the effect of stalling an important city finance item.
She said her friends have suggested she should pursue a court appeal, or even call for a vote of no confidence in Mootooveren. Zalewski-Wildzunas said she’s considering both options and their ramifications.
