Do you have Suggestions on Ways to Improve Town Government?

by Dave Atkins

Last year's town meeting included three petition articles to make major changes in town government: to set term limits, to change the date of the town meeting and elections, and to increase the number of selectmen. Those proposals were debated at a couple of FinCom meetings before being rejected at Town Meeting.

Following that meeting, the Board of Selectmen appointed a Government and Charter Study Task Force to review the current Town Charter and make recommendations. The task force will be holding a public forum on February 3 to gather community input. Follow the link above for more information.
