Doesn’t Councilor Sean McDonough realize that even though resigning your teaching job allows you to legally collect your councilor salary, it does not clear the “familial conflict “ created by his wife’s job. Its basically a distinction without a difference because the same strict conflicts of interest still apply.
Councilor McDonough will be missed at LHS. I am more than confident he will do great in whatever endeavor lies ahead.
