A city voter in Harrisburg has ended his challenge to mayoral candidate Otto V. Banks’ city residency, erasing any doubt about Banks’ appearance on the May 18 Democratic Party primary.
The petitioner in the case, Green Street resident Joseph Wright, opted not to appeal his April 1 defeat in Dauphin County court to Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court, bringing the case against Banks to a formal end, Wright’s attorney Karen Balaban said. Attempts to reach Wright were not successful.
