NEW BEDFORD – After months of the decision sitting in committee, Joaquim Jack Livramento has been denied a seat on the Greater New Bedford Voc-Tech School Committee.
Livramento was appointed to the Voc-Tech school committee by Mayor Jon Mitchell on Sept. 29. The Appointments and Briefings council voted 7-4 against the nomination and tied in a 5-5 vote on reporting the rejection to the full city council. For the time being, the decision remained in council.
That is until the March 25 City Council meeting, where the council voted to follow the recommendation of the committee and take no further action on the agenda item, determining Livramento s appointment.
