“His name should not have appeared on the ballot to begin with. If we address the root cause, we wouldn't be stuck in this position. I sincerely feel bad for Mr. Williamson and for the voters who voted for him because they thought that the borough had done their due diligence to vet this individual to see if they were qualified to serve in that seat.”

The root cause is related to eligibility for his name to appear on the ballot. His name should not have appeared on the ballot to begin with. If we address the root cause, we wouldn't be stuck in this position. I sincerely feel bad for Mr. Williamson and for the voters who voted for him because they thought that the borough had done their due diligence to vet this individual to see if they were qualified to serve in that seat. It's disappointing that he's not, and it's a misstep.
