The question of whether Washington City Councilman Matt Staniszewski would show up for Council’s Monday meeting has been answered. Staniszewski did not attend his first council meeting after his August 26 DUI arrest. A quorum to conduct business was reached with the participation of councilmen Joe Manning and Ken Westcott and Mayor Scott Putnam. Councilwoman Monda Williams was also absent from the meeting. When asked about communication with Staniszewski, Putnam stated that he had not talked to him in the last two weeks. Putnam also stated that he had not had any contact with Governor Tom Wolf’s office regarding the removal of Staniszewski from office. Putnam called Staniszewski’s arrest a “Black Eye on the City” and hoped that Staniszewski could get the help that he seems to need.
