Committeeman to be sworn in

It's my understanding that Hazlet Committeeman-elect Kevin Lavan is going to exercise his right to be sworn into his unexpired term immediately -- namely at the Tuesday, December 6 committee meeting.

The seat was vacated by former-mayor Paul Coughlin after his February arrest on bribery charges. Scott Broschart was selected to replace Coughlin and was planning to run in the November race but withdrew his name one week before the filing deadline.

Lavan ran against political new-comer Will Kolibas.
