Dissident Recreation Commission Attacks Lyons Over Dana Firing
Members of the Parks and Recreation Commission questioned chairman John Lyons about his role in the firing last week of Recreation Director Dana. Four commissioners pressed Lyons for reasons and authority, while Lyons defended attending executive sessions with selectmen. The body moved to table the questions on a 5 to 4 vote, Lyons breaking the tie, and discussed shifting hiring powers to the personnel committee and possibly reducing staff.
