Tensions rise in Ellsworth over censured councilor.Tensions rise in Ellsworth over censured councilor ELLSWORTH, Maine (WVII) -- Ellsworth City Hall has reached a boiling point following a secret investigation into one of the city's councilmen.Tension over a vote to censure Councilman Stephen O’Halloran have now escalated into a "retaliation" scandal.O’Halloran was censured for "bullying and intimidating behavior," but the city council refused to release the full report about his behavior.Officials say it was necessary to protect city employees and the city legally.Meanwhile, O’Halloran is calling for the entire 176-page investigation to be made public.“Before I even read it, I want it in the public eye,” said O’Halloran.Ellsworth paid for this.They should see this, even if it paints me in a bad light.” The council instead agreed to release a four-page summary of the findings.The controversy has triggered a recall petition against 70% of the city council.
