Town Official Threatens Inspector Over Charter Debate
Town Administrator Augustin Nunes tried to muzzle two ex councilmen by pressuring Public Works Director Arthur Langelo and Minimum Housing Inspector John Ligiero to align with the administration. Ligiero has openly criticized the town charter, advocating an appointed administrator and greater council power, and his independent stance irks Nunes who may seek to silence him via dismissal threats.
