Grove panel weighs health official offer amid Kleess firing
The county board considered Samuel J. Kearing Jr.’s proposal for a health department engineer to sign Kleess’s work pending his fall licensing exam results. The board cited lack of a license as the reason for Kleess’s firing after he rejected a 6,000 dollar pay cut to 15,000. Audience questions spurred Muller to claim full responsibility and resist a revote while Richard Morrisey assailed Kleess. Town Justice Finnegan, who supported keeping Kleess, said alternative solutions existed.
