GLOVERSVILLE The Common Council on Wednesday night voted 5-2 to adopt the conclusions of the Special Investigation Committee report on the conduct of Councilman-at-large William Rowback Jr. including that he exceeded his authority in threatening to fire city employees, exposed the city to potential lawsuits and was “untruthful” to the committee when giving testimony under oath.
The report states that it is the committee’s “opinion that Rowback’s responses were untruthful and that the information provided by the other witnesses was credible.”
Although the report is based on sworn testimony, the investigation was not subject to the evidence standards of a criminal probe, and appears unlikely to result in criminal charges.
