Dorset Town Manager Drives Tax Cuts and Road Upswing
Dorset's town manager plan, begun in May 1960 under John W. Browne, cut taxes and improved roads by centralizing finances and administration. Shaftsbury considers a similar move after hearing Dorset's success, noting chronic overrun and indebtedness. Increase in selectmen from three to five aims to improve decision making and budgeting efficiency.
