Weir criticizes Hill resignation as childish act in Erie
Erie County Commissioner Lea Weir compared colleague William Hill’s resignation as chairman to a child taking away his toys. He argued the board’s no bailout stance for the Erie County Authority is correct, opposing a $600000 fieldhouse bailout. Weir warned of possible taxpayer lawsuits and said bondholders only care about debt service. He noted the authority’s trouble came from debt beyond the $1 million county backing and refused to back a loan, while Hill and County Controller A J Gehrlein backed a plan to borrow. Tonight’s sound off invites readers to call in with issues.
