Gas deal clash as Holtzman faces opposition at meeting
A heated gas franchise meeting at Mayor Holtzman's office devolved into a struggle between Holtzman allies and Moriarity. The council debated amendments to lay mains, with Potts and Warrum clashing over wording and legality. Potts signaled potential surrender if Consumers’ Gas Trust assets aren’t secured, while deposits for meters drew support. The Board of Public Works plans to reinstate the amended franchise to the council soon.
