Shaftsbury Voters To Get a Choice Race for 3-year selectman leads slate
Shaftsbury residents face a robust slate with Republican Anthony Altobell and Democrat Henry Harrington vying for the 3-year selectman post. Harrington, a Vermonter and small business owner, criticizes zoning as planned and favors separate town clerk and treasurer roles. Altobell, also a Vermonter and former Rutland native, stresses town future goals and supports keeping clerk and treasurer separate unless more debate proves otherwise. Several other contests include town clerk, moderator, first constable, second constable, auditors, and trustees, with several incumbents unopposed.
