JACKSON – Council members voted to hire a special advisor to help the township with its legal challenges involving religious rights.
Marci Hamilton, a specialist in such litigation, was appointed during a recent Township Council meeting. She is the author of “God Vs. The Gavel: Religion And The Rule Of Law” and co-author of “Fundamentalism, Politics, and the Law.”
While Council President Rob Nixon, Council Vice President Barry Calogero, and councilmen Andrew Kern and Alexander Sauickie III supported the measure, Councilman Kenneth Bressi did not.
Bressi explained his “no” vote after the meeting saying, “We are represented by our insurance company’s legal firm but this will be paid for by the township at $800 an hour in an unlimited open-ended arrangement.”
