City council and mayor appointed someone to a local board this past Monday, but the notice in the paper said that they would be taking applications until today. Is that a legal appointment?

Yes it's legalI'm sorry, man, but I've got magic. I've got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time--and this includes naps --I'm an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground. -
Probably not, unless there's a local ordinance requiring that vacancies on local boards to be posted in the newspaper for a specific period of time before an appointment can be made.Comment

I'm not sure what you mean. You seem to be contradicting yourself or else I don't follow.Originally posted by B-Fly View Post

It's only illegal if the Council has a law on the books requiring that vacancies to appointed Boards be posted/advertised for a specific period of time before an appointment can be made. Most likely, there is no such law on the books, so they'd be free to approve the appointment whenever they choose. But I don't have the time (or the desire) to research your City's local laws/ordinances.Originally posted by Mithrandir View Post

Thanks buddy, how many years of law school did you need to nail that one down?I'm sorry, man, but I've got magic. I've got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time--and this includes naps --I'm an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground.Comment

Don't suppose the paper could have printed the notice late?
Or that there may be more than one position on the Board to be filled?Comment

Is the appointee coming and standing in front of your mailbox to prevent you from sending in your application? Didn't think so.Originally posted by Mithrandir View Post
