Three new Wellington trustees give themselves raises
The Wellington Township trustees including newcomers Virginia Haynes and Calvin Woods awarded themselves raises to 8400 and 8000, fired zoning inspector Gil Baker over a cited issue against Haynes, and imposed a three minute one time limit on audience participation. The moves raise questions of legality and propriety, while abstention by Woods on Baker's firing is noted. Critics say the session did not set a strong democratic example.
