Becker Resigns from Hillsdale Council

Hillsdale Councilwoman Leslie Becker resigned from her seat, according to Mayor Max Arnowitz.

Arnowitz told Patch Monday that Becker had cited personal reasons for giving up her position. Becker did not return calls for comment.

"I'll miss her," Arnowitz said. "I think she's a good councilwoman, but her family has to come first."

Becker was appointed to the position in March to fill the seat left by Jonathan DeJoseph when he left the council to become the borough's administrator.

Earlier this month, Frank Pizzella was after Rod Capawana resigned.

Arnowitz said he hoped to have a new candidate ready by the council's next meeting on July 10.
