Beaver County Commissioners agreed to hire two solicitors for Children and Youth Services, replacing the fired Robert Masters. The hiring decision will be made at Thursday’s regular meeting. State-funded, CYS solicitor expenses cannot exceed 150 thousand dollars and attorneys are paid 100 dollars per hour. Commissioners Dan Camp and Tony Amadio interviewed Dana Kwidis, Rob Alsko and Joe Askar on Monday and the three candidates were left with the impression that only one person was being hired. According to Camp, Alsko and Kwidis currently do work for CYS that would constitute a conflict of interest if either were hired as CYS solicitor. Commissioner Sandie Egley said CYS director Dana Reavy told her Kwidis exceeded expectations and should be first choice and declined recommendation for a second choice to avoid politics over the hiring. Askar was a late entry into the CYS derby. Askar is personal friends with both Camp and Amadio. Egley has already stated she would be opposed to Askar.
