Dewey Beach Takes Up Appelbaum Case

Dewey Beach logo

Now that the municipal elections are over the Dewey Beach Town Commission will take up the case of Town Manager Marc Appelbaum.

It comes a week after an independent investigation into allegations of sexual harassment, racial discrimination and improper conduct in office.

The probe found there was not enough evidence to immediately suspend or terminate Appelbaum.

The investigating attorney said that some of the most serious complaints occurred three or four years ago.

But Richard Cross attorney for those making the allegation said that the investigation confirmed their complaints.

Since then last Saturday’s election saw the return of Mayor Dale Cooke along with two newcomers Paul Bauer and TJ Redefer to the town commission.
