Judge denies motion regarding new county clerk
A Fayette County judge has denied a motion filed by a Fairchance man asking the judge to reconsider his petition to block the hiring of Fayette County’s new chief clerk.
Last week, Robert “Ted” Pritchard filed paperwork asking that a judge schedule a hearing, contending that Amy Revak of Masontown is unqualified to do the job, which she began on Monday.
Judge Steve P. Leskinen denied the motion by Pritchard, noting that the motion “alleges exactly the same complaint as the previous untitled petition” and again fails to cite a legal authority that would permit the court to interfere with personnel decisions of the Fayette County Commissioners.
