The board of the DRPA on Wednesday toughened conflict-of-interest and other rules before going into closed session to decide the fate of Corporate Secretary John Lawless.
After meeting for almost three hours, board members voted to merge the position of corporate secretary with the position of general counsel, which is held by Richard Brown.
The move leaves Lawless without a DRPA job; he said after the meeting he expects to sue the agency.
Lawless, a former Pennsylvania state legislator, was escorted from the building in April for still-undisclosed reasons.
