Delmont councilman removed from vice president position
Delmont Councilman Bill Marx already opted to not seek reelection as he faces a possible fall 2021 deployment in with his Army Reserve unit.
The former Marine has been stripped of his role as borough council vice president for publicly calling out fellow council members for not wearing masks during the covid-19 pandemic, he said.
Council voted 4-2 to remove Marx as vice president. He and Councilman Dave Weber voted no; council President Andrew Shissler abstained.
