We don't quite understand what's going on in council chambers in Bloomfield, but this much we gather: it ain't pretty.
On Monday night, the council voted 4-2 to replace 22-year town attorney Vincent Pirone with township prosecutor Paul Sant’Ambrogio. But Bloomfield mayor Ray McCarthy, who was on vacation when the vote took place, says the vote was illegal. And so does Pirone, who wants another year at the job.
If McCarthy is right, and the action was illegal, then Bloomfield is currently without an attorney, as Pirone's term has expired. The Independent Press quotes McCarthy:
“There’s no judge that’s going to uphold what they’ve done. If I have to go to court on this, then I will."
Just what Bloomfield needs: another lawsuit.
