West Chester fight over May vote on $33 million center
A West Chester Township resident hired attorney Don McTigue plans to file a civil suit to stop the May 3 binding referendum on the $33 million recreation center. Trustees used a new law to move the vote to May, prompting claims the measure targets one township and violates the single subject rule. Local officials defend the move as cost saving and legitimate under state legislation.
