Hewitt confirmation in county council sparks race controversy
County Council narrowly approved John P. Hewitt for the planning board 4 to 3 after a tie was broken by Michael Gudis who abstained to seek more questions. NAACP leader Roscoe Nix condemned the vote as controversial while Leggett, Potter, and Adams dissented over credibility and knowledge of segregation at Meadowbrook Yard. Hewitt, a former parks director, faces scrutiny over past statements and conduct amid a charged political climate.
