Election off post assured Ferguson vacancy to save town
In a bid to avoid a $2,000 special runoff election, the town agrees to appoint John Ferguson to the board as third selectman, creating a vacancy and sidestepping the runoff. The move follows a legal opinion that vacancy by appointment is permissible if the runoff is waived by the others. Ferguson, a 12-year former Republican first selectman, polled 4,198 votes on the Democratic ticket.
