In Chester City Council Chambers a dispute over a tax reduction hearing escalated when tax assessor Neil Montella attacked realtor Irving Saints after insults were exchanged. Eyewitnesses report the two had to be pulled apart by attendees.
At Irving, during the city’s final session of property tax appeals on November 20, Savits and his attorney sought tax reductions for city real estate. Mayor Battle and officials watched as Savits and Montella exchanged insults and grappled after Savits reportedly called the mayor’s group trash. Residents intervened to separate the combatants.
Al Rosenberg of Lansdowne described Montella leaping from his seat as if shot during the hearing. He helped stop the brawl and stated there were no punches thrown. The remark came as attendees reacted to the sudden disturbance.
