Phillipsburg council wants to know if meetings were caught up in alleged spying scheme
Updated Feb 07, 2021;
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic pushing its meetings to Zoom, Phillipsburg Town Council met at the Phillipsburg Housing Authority’s Heckman House.
The authority’s executive director, Paul Rummerfield, now faces charges of official misconduct and related counts after he allegedly installed cameras and microphones to spy on employees.
Council last week voted to have the town’s attorney, Rich Wenner, reach out to the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office to see if any of its meetings either public or behind closed doors were caught in the alleged surveillance scheme.
