法官必须在星期一前决定新任命的Schenectady理事会成员Justin 主席是否可以就职,从而因法律争端而停止城市运作。 A judge must decide by Monday whether newly appointed Schenectady council member Justin Chaires can take office, halting city operations due to a legal dispute.

一名Schenectady法官将在星期一上午前就是否解除一项禁止新任命的市议员Justin Chaires任职的临时限制令作出裁决。 A Schenectady judge is set to rule by Monday morning on whether to lift a temporary restraining order blocking newly appointed city council member Justin Chaires from serving. 争议起因于市长Gary McCarthy(Gary McCarthy)的诉讼, 他质疑议会任命主席来填补Joseph Mancini(Joseph Mancini)空出的席位, 宣称这违反了市法。 The dispute stems from a lawsuit by Mayor Gary McCarthy, who challenged the council’s appointment of Chaires to fill a seat vacated by Joseph Mancini, claiming it violated city law. 12月,该理事会批准了主席人选,推翻了麦卡锡的否决权,但一名法官签发了禁止他任职的限制令,以可能损害市政运作为由,阻止他任职。 The council approved Chaires in December, overriding McCarthy’s veto, but a judge issued a restraining order to prevent him from serving, citing potential harm to city operations. 该理事会仍然陷入僵局,只有5名成员,无法保持法定人数或选举新总统,使城市事务陷入停顿。 The council remains deadlocked with only five members, unable to hold a quorum or elect a new president, halting city business. 法官的裁决将决定主席是否可以在2026年11月选举之前开始任职。 The judge’s decision will determine whether Chaires can begin serving ahead of the November 2026 election.
