Arlos in Pittsfield Crossfire Over City Council Posts
Pittsfield politics flare as Arlos, Mack and Tagliente trade charges over the creation of a second assistant solicitor post. Mack accuses a tacit deal to aid Tagliente, while Tagliente denies collusion and vows to announce his own run. Mayor Haughey says no move to create the post, though Welfare Commissioner Hodecker requested welfare matter assistance. Arles and Arlos allege political manipulation and criticise self serving motives in city governance.
