Correction
In an article,
headlined “Perkins elected Council President….” posted on January 9
on this web site, it was incorrectly reported in the fifth paragraph
that Councilman Phil Tobey was unanimously elected vice president of
the Township Council. That is not correct. Councilman Tobey was
elected vice president but not by a unanimous vote. Councilman
RussTepper and Councilwoman Colleen Labow voted “no” on the measure.
