Erie Police Chief May Not Order File Probe
Erie Police Chief William Donahue indicated he may ignore directives to probe police files further. He argued investigations by officers into their own files would be inconclusive and that files are already in order. Acting Mayor Michael A. Cannavino sent a letter opposing a special investigation team appointed from the force. Donahue said no officers would be appointed and doubted the need for any investigation, claiming the evidence is present and complete. Separately, Union News Company announced the sale of its newsstand at the Passenger Station to Perry Wichals with an immediate effective date and planned improvements.
