Alegria warns DPW shutdown possible over deficit
Town Council Chairman Richard Alegria warns the Public Works Department may shut down for a week or more to cover a budget shortfall now projected at about $35,000. Four CETA workers were moved to town funded posts, risking unfunded positions and possible service reductions. The council will address the issue with Town Administrator Nunes at the next meeting.

Canvassers reject Vento plea over mayoral endorsement
The Board of Canvassers rejected Joseph Vento’s challenge to the Democratic Town Committee’s endorsement of Anthony Agatiello for town administrator. Vento claimed a 51 percent motion existed, but the panel found no record of such a bylaw or motion, citing state law that a winner is the candidate with the most votes even without a majority.
