The Linden Town Council is asking Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan to remove the Town Clerk Janella Bowen “forthwith,” while accusing her of malicious attempts to stymie the development of the municipality and bring the council into disrepute.
The council is currently seeking Bowen’s removal through a “no-confidence” motion, which was passed by a majority of the councillors on July 27, 2016. This is the third such motion brought against Bowen and the second by the current council.
Speaking at a press conference, held at the Herdmanston Lodge yesterday, Linden Mayor Carwyn Holland told reporters that the council found Bowen’s actions “very suspect.”
