MONESSEN, Pa. — A Westmoreland County city will now punish the mayor and council members for missing a meeting without a good reason.
Monessen Mayor Matt Shorraw has missed 26 straight meetings and another council member has only attended one meeting since last February.
Leaders passed a new ordinance that would make being absent a fineable offense if they didn't have a good enough reason.
