CETA Control Sparks Town Council Clash
At last night’s meeting the town administrator and council clashed over who controls the CETA program with a motion to define the CETA Task Force supervisor’s authority. Council members passed the measure unanimously, but the administrator warned it was illegal and questioned authority over the highway department. The dispute highlights competing visions of governance and supervision for the CETA effort.
