After Charles Morgan distributed a 14-page document to council outlining his reasons for wanting Township Attorney Michael J. Herbert removed from his position, his fellow council members voted 4-1 to disallow the reading of the document at the July 23 meeting of the West Windsor Township Council.##M:[more]##
Township Clerk Sharon Young then collected the document, which Herbert said was “outrageous.” Councilwoman Linda Geevers called for an executive session. Once the council went behind closed doors, according to Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh, Morgan said: “It’s too late. I already sent copies to the press.”
He had sent the document to members of the media one hour before the meeting. The tactic is similar to one Morgan used last year in another feud with a different colleague. In July 2006, When Barbara Pfeifer was on council, Morgan wrote a 2,”100-word statement analyzing a feud he was having with Pfeifer, included a document that contained definitions for various psychoanalytical terms, such as “narcissism,” distortion,” and “delusions of grandeur.”
This time, Morgan has not questioned Herbert’s Psychology. He has questioned his professionalism, partiality, and the accuracy of his legal advice.
While most close to the issue decline to comment on Morgan’s actions, Heidi Kleinman said: “If there are facts within the 14 pages of character assassination, they are obscured by personal opinion, innuendo, and distortion of the historical record.”
