Councilman Troy announced that the republican majority is choosing to make changes in the Town Attorney’s Office.  He said they would be appointing Teresa Kenny as the new Town Attorney.  Joining her will be John Edwards, as head Deputy Town Attorney.  They are re-appointing Lou Kayser and Dennis Michaels as Deputy Town Attorneys.  They will appoint Rob Magrino, Kevin Mulhearn and William Reddy as new Deputy Town Attorneys (effective March 1, 2004).

Supervisor Kleiner and Councilwoman Manning announced they would not be voting for the appointments of Town Attorney.  They felt it is not in the best interest of the Town, they said Riley and O’Connell have over 60 years of experience in Municipal Law, and have been an asset to the Town over the past 8 years.  They will be voting for the re-appointments of Lou Kayser and Dennis Michael but will not be voting for the new deputies.  They said they were part of the initial interview process but not part of the final deliberative process.  This is partisan government at its worst and not in the best interest of the Town.
