The names have changed, but the story hasn't.
The new all-male, all Republican Hamburg Township board is continuing the same antics as the previous board, most of whose members lost in either the August primary or the November election (or both in the case of Clerk Joanna Hardesty.)
The Livingston Press and Argus has the latest antics here.
Because the link will soon be dead, here's the gist: Clerk Matt Skiba wanted to give a big pay raise to Deputy Clerk Michael Zeglevski, but the rest of the board wouldn't go along with it. There was missing information on his resume for one thing. He doesn't have any experience in the duties of the job, which include handling Freedom of Information Act requests. And he claimed he had a professional license as a counselor but some board members said they couldn't find a record of it. And then there was this:
A Hamburg resident complained about Zeglevski that, "I've watched him making masturbating gestures. I’ve seen him lift his leg and fart on people."
You could not make that stuff up if you tried.
Hamburg, you had your chance but you bypassed Democrat Debby Buckland for township clerk. I guess she should have promised comic relief instead of competence in the job.

I generally disagree with your posts, but it's hard to find fault with this one...although I'm not sure what why you felt the need to say all-male...it's accurate, but the prior board was pretty dysfunctional and had at least 3 females. Foolishness is not gender specific.
The township should have elected the Democrat for clerk. I think they are in for a very rough road in the township hall.
It is becoming painful to read the stories about Hamburg Township. Certainly Matt Skiba needs to rethink his choice for Deputy Clerk and move on with the business of the township.
The business of the township has to be more important than his ties to Michael Zelevski.
Time is of the essence on this matter, he needs to act quickly and stop any more damage to our township's and his reputation.
