Ausha Green
Harrisburg City Council is operating at full complement once more, thanks to tonight’s appointment of a new council member.
Council voted unanimously to appoint Ausha Green, a former school board member, to a three-month term. Green will fill the seat formerly held by Destini Hodges, who resigned from council earlier this month to take a job out of state.
Green is running unopposed for a four-year council seat in the Nov. 7 general election. According to Council President Wanda Williams, council decided to appoint her early since she would inevitably join the seven-member body in January.
By appointing Green, council decided to forego the open application and nomination process customarily used to fill vacancies. The last council person appointed by that process was Dave Madsen, who occupies the seat vacated by Jeffrey Baltimore in August.
