Democrats and Republicans on Mt. Lebanon's board of commissioners split along party lines March 23, disagreeing over appointments to various volunteer boards and authorities.
Democrats said Republicans were playing politics with the appointments by accepting a list of last-minute names of partisan allies. Democrat Dan Miller walked out of an executive session March 23 to express his disappointment with the process, saying Republicans violated the spirit if not the rule by rejecting some volunteers who applied early in favor of late applicants.
NOTE: The location of 1st Ward Commissioner Raja's business is incorrectly stated in the article. His company is located in Scott Township, not Mt. Lebanon.

The only time I recall the Commission stepped outside the normal process for board appointments was when the Commission rejected a number of otherwise qualified applicants (my opinion) in favor of appointing Assistant Manager Taylor to the Library Board. Of particular note: Taylor did not even apply for the appointment, as I understand it.
