Harrisburg City Councils Lawyer Quits Because He Says that He Has Not Been Paid

Submitted by webadmin on

Harrisburg City Council's bankruptcy attorney Mark Schwartz has quit, saying that he has not been paid the thousands he is owed, the Harrisburg Patriot-News reported today. Six months ago, council planned on using $20,000 from last year's budget and $20,000 from this year's to partially pay Schwartz, who had billed $90,000 by then. Harrisburg Controller Dan Miller said Schwartz billed the city about $120,000 through May 31. However, Schwartz's court motion yesterday includes a letter to council President Wanda Williams saying that he has not been paid at all.
