===2008 Township Board===
Tom Sray was named chairman of the South Fayette commissioners Monday, and Sue Caffrey -- now the lone Republican on the board, four years after voters ushered in a GOP majority -- started carving out a place as an opposition voice.
Ms. Caffrey cast the sole "no" vote to the appointment of former police chief and township commissioner Ted Villani to the township vacancy board, and to membership in the West Hills Council of Governments.
She also asked new Commissioner Deron Gabriel why he made a motion for an executive session. Mr. Gabriel said it was to "discuss legal issues concerning the township engineer."
The engineer, Dave Gardner, was reappointed after the executive session. Solicitor Jon Kamin said there had been question about Mr. Gardner's professional certification, but that they had been cleared up, and his certification was in order.
Mr. Gardner was part of the Republican majority elected in 2003, then resigned in March 2005 to take the job of township engineer. He was replaced on the commission by Cindy Cox, a Democrat, restoring the usual Democratic majority. The majority was strengthened in November, when Republican Bob Milacci lost his re-election bid.
Mr. Gabriel and fellow Democrat Greg Curl took the seats of Mr. Milacci and Mr. Villani, who did not run for re-election.
