Foster Township Supervisor Cary Kaber gave a few township residents a tour of District Judge Rich Luther's new offices and courtroom in the township municipal building. For the past several months – including Monday night – the bid process for the work has been the topic of heated discussions during supervisors' meetings. On Monday, township solicitor Dick Mutzabaugh gave his opinion, which was reinforced by attorney George Atman III, that the renovations and improvements performed by township employees (including Kaber) are not subject to the competitive bidding requirement under the township code. Mutzabaugh said anyone who doesn't agree can have his/her lawyer contact him. The new offices are on the opposite side of the building from Luther's current offices and courtroom. Part of the township's rental agreement with the county for the offices includes the renovation work.
