STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A Democrat who won a seat on a Pennsylvania township’s board of supervisors declined to serve at her swearing in.
Colleen Unroe says she doesn’t have time for the job in Ferguson Township, and she now concedes she wasn’t eligible for office because she hadn’t lived in the township for a year when she defeated the Republican incumbent in November.
The township and the ousted incumbent, Drew Clemson, had sued to keep Unroe from taking office. The township dropped its lawsuit after she refused to be sworn in Monday night.
Clemson claims in his lawsuit that he should still be supervisor because he got the most votes of any legal candidate.
But Unroe says she thinks the board should pick her replacement because voters rejected Clemson.
