"City officials would not speculate on whether Biernat's conviction would automatically force him to quit the council." [TB] How does someone not resign after being convicted of 5 felonies? If he hasn't resigned by then the Council should remove him from all committees when they meet tomorrow. The last thing we need is a convicted felon serving in elected office. The other coucil members can't be happy about this. Doesn't one need to be an eligible voter to serve in elected office? Doesn't a felony conviction bar one from voting?
