Weighty baton passed by Council

The 1972 74 Council voted to file four charter violation charges against former Town Administrator Michael J Balzano Jr and former Building Inspector Thomas Borromeo over the North Farm controversy. Charges allege Balzano approved compensation terms from entities doing town business and Borromeo received value from such entities. The council urged formal hearings at the earliest time to resolve the charges. The departing council also found insufficient evidence to support alleged fixes of motor vehicle violations or juvenile court skips, and substantiates the unproven altar rail claim. The new council will hold a hearing on Broadcommon Processing auto junk yard license at 8 pm Wednesday after a delayedNov 27 postponement.
