As a result, he canceled the appearance of his client’s environmental and drainage experts, who were scheduled to testify at the planning board session. Mayor William Laforet, a regular member of the planning board, explained to Jaworski that there was never any intent to have the students testify as experts before the planning board. The public hearing on the Crossroads application was carried to the June 11 board meeting.
