While personnel was expected to be the primary topic of discussion during Wednesday’s Charleroi council meeting, an unexpected move — that was not unanimous — left council with a new solicitor on the books.

Last night’s agenda was filled with several motions to fill positions in a few areas in the borough, but only one of the original motions was given any attention as two new motions took center stage.

The first motion was to fire Solicitor Sean Logue, and the second was to replace him on an interim basis with ABC Solicitor and former borough solicitor Dennis Paluso.

Both motions were proposed by Councilman Randy DiPiazza, who was met with immediate backlash and questions from councilmen Larry Celaschi and Joe Smith, who attended Wednesday’s meeting via phone.
