Ersi Tollja takes issue with John Mooney's ruling that Tom Bassford should be allowed to continue to be on council.

Even though he works and has an address in Pennsylvania, it was decided that someone who does not reside in Galloway knows what’s best for us. The residents of Galloway are tired of these political shell games.
