In the last city administration, former Mayor Feiszli was admonished for wanting to add a second city attorney. She was fought at every turn, up to and including articles in the Cortland Standard.
Randy FoxMayor Feiszli's need for a second attorney, however, was caused due to the fact that her sitting attorney, Mr Walsh, just wasn't doing his job. His desk was full of work, left undone. Finally Mayor Feiszli was placed in a position where she had no choice but to ask for his resignation. The work was so backed up, that there was a TRUE need for not just a replacement for Mr Walsh, but also a second attorney to split the workload. The Right Wing counsel and Mr Tobin in particular at this point decided to fight this with everything they had. Finally common sense prevailed, it came to a vote in the counsel. The ONLY dissenting vote was--yes, you guessed it, Mr. Tobin!!Today it seems that hypocrisy has no bounds, and Mr. Tobin apparently feels the need for a second city attorney--who, by the way worked on HIS campaign.So here we are, four days into a new regime. Already he is spending money that doesn't need to be spent, with an attitude of we will do whatever we want. Congratulations, Mr. Tobin, you are now officially under the microscope. Hope you enjoy the ride, keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times !!
