Commission Reverses Decisions On Town Treasurer and Clerk
The charter commission reversed several positions in a tense meeting. It kept electing the town clerk but approved appointing the town treasurer for a two year term. The panel also voted to remove the council salary from the charter while preserving a no pay rise during the current term. Several members urged broader reforms including a single tax assessor with a review board and a shorter ballot.
