My special qualifications for the position of Solicitor are: (I) my undergraduate education in Political Science at Bucknell University where I received a Bachelor Of Arts Degree with honors; (2) my post graduate education in Public Administration at Pennsylvania State University where I received a Master's Degree with distinction; (3) the legal education which led to my Juris Doctor's Degree from the Delaware Law School Of Widener University; and (4) the twenty-nine years of practical experience I have had in the general and municipal practice of law, including being a borough solicitor for over twenty-five years.

I have read and become acquainted with Act 32. As a. result of my education and experience over twenty-nine years as an attorney" practicing municipal law, I believe that I can be a useful addition to your staff.

I would be pleased to serve as the Committee's Solicitor for: (1) for compensation at an hourly rate of $100.00 for each hour of legal services plus (2) reimbursement for extraordinary expenses.

The hourly compensation would cover the following work:

(2) Attendance at meetings of committees of the Committee whenever invited;

(3) Routine legal research, and written opinions whenever requested, on issues before the Committee;

(10) Other ordinary and routine legal services customarily provided to municipal clients, including general supervision of all the Committee's legal affairs;
