01/17/2005: "Council Elects New Officers"

Perkasie Borough Council tonight elected new officers. Council President Lee Metzger, who was absent from tonight's meeting, had submitted a letter of resignation as president, citing business that frequently takes him out of town (he did not resign, however, from Council).

Elected as Council president was Eadie Burke (photo at right), previously serving as vice president, and long-time Councilman Jim Boyer was elected as vice president.

(Following the meeting, I asked Burke and Boyer to pose for a photograph; Boyer agreed but Burke very childishly declined, turning her back to me anytime she noticed my camera nearby; the photo above right was taken as she spoke to another reporter.)
