During a recent government meeting, the board addressed two significant motions concerning Warren County Supervisor Brad McGowan. The first motion involved four complaints against McGowan, which were formally acknowledged and approved by the board. Supervisor Durace initiated the motion, and it received unanimous support from the members present.
The second motion focused on allegations that Supervisor McGowan violated several sections of the Warren County Code of Ethics. These violations included issues related to interests in contracts, annual disclosure, and recusal from matters where there may be a conflict of interest. The specific sections cited were 15(a), 15(b), 7, 6, 8, and 11(a)(3). This motion was also put forth by Supervisor Bruno and seconded by Supervisor Thomas, and it similarly passed with unanimous approval.
The meeting underscored the board's commitment to upholding ethical standards within local government, as they moved forward with resolutions aimed at addressing the conduct of elected officials. Further discussions regarding disciplinary actions were anticipated, although the specific language of the resolution was not immediately available for review.
