(Aspinwall Borough, PA) The mayor of Aspinwall Borough was censured by its borough council last night after he secretly recorded a private meeting. That council approved a resolution to censure Mayor Scott Zimmermann for using his iPhone to record a private meeting in February in Aspinwall Borough. He is accused of violating the Pennsylvania Wiretapping and Electronic Control Act since the other borough officials present did not know they were being recorded. Zimmerman claimed that he deleted the recording on the spot. He also issued an apology for the recording, but ultimately decided not to resign.
