Speaking of credibility...
A history of consistent behavior is beginning to emerge.
We have recently discovered in Williams Township that, after an agonizingly long period where Township officials seemed to revel in delaying and persistently halt a Williams landowner's need to work on their property ...stretching into some 18 months, that Township Solicitor Brian Monahan, together with the Township Engineer presented to current District Judge Zemgulis at the time, and demanded they be reimbursed for the "added hours" they had 'devoted' to this landowner's project.
Oddly, these Township consultants, led by Mr. Monahan, seemed to see - what amounted to - continued harassment, as a viable means for ratcheting up billable hours.
What a concept.
In, what was clearly a conscientious and fair response, District Zemgulis noted that the salaries these officials received, were already being paid out of taxpayers'(Williams Township residents) pockets. And now, they were presenting to her to request they be reimbursed for the extra hours they spent ...virtually 'harassing' this landowner?
District Zemgulis wisely declined the request, with a comment to the effect, "This is what gives District Justices gray hair."
Gray hair indeed.
What gives us gray hair is the thought that Williams Township Solicitor Brian Monahan is running for this very position ---> District Judge - election May 15, 2007.
I wonder, if Township Solicitor Brian Monahan were to find himself behind the bench, and have the very same question posed to him by Williams Township Officials, what would his decision be?
