STEUBENVILLE Steubenville Council met in executive session Tuesday to discuss a proposed settlement to litigation over Steubenville’s 25 neighborhood conservation districts, but not everyone was happy about it.
After voting no on the motion to go behind closed doors again to discuss the proposal, 5th Ward Councilman Willie Paul said he was tired of talk and wanted a decision. The vote was 6-1.
“How much longer are we going to talk about this matter?” an irritated Paul said. “I really think we’re beating a dead horse. I’m tired of going into executive session and talking about the same thing. We’re paying a lawyer to get on the phone with us, that’s got to be costing us money, and we’re worrying about what we’re paying the (complainant). I really think we’re wasting time.”
