Fundamental Changes In The Municipality?

At the April 26th Commission meeting, the Commission approved a new solicitor for our town by a 4-1 vote. The firm of Buchanan Ingersoll now replaces Eckert Seamans - which I think has been our solicitor for decades. They also replaced our special labor counsel at the April 12th meeting. I don't recall the Commission ever bidding these items out before. Anyone know what happened?

I also heard rumors that the Commission was taking steps to consolidate the Parking Authority - and sure enough this item appeared on the April 26th discussion agenda. I was wondering if anyone attended the meeting and could enlighten me/us about what was talked about.
