Steve Briglia: Conflict of Interest?

Jane Seeman and Al Boudreau voted to allow the Historic District boundaries to be changed in 1998. They both voted against the Planning Commission's recommendation. Also joining them in that vote was then Council member Steve Briglia (Briglia & Hundley, P.C.).


Steve Briglia

We are sure Seeman will be forced to explain her vote in litigation, but what about Steve Briglia? Should he be allowed to escape scrutiny simply because he is now Town Attorney? This was one of the most infamous votes in the history of the Town of Vienna. Briglia should make public his reasons for allowing 125 Pleasant Street into the District forcing yet another boundary change.

Moreover, should Briglia even be advising the Town in this matter today? How can he be objective? Will he always be defending his 1998 vote? Briglia's involvement should be questioned.
