  1. At 19:35 minutes into the May 24th 2023 Board of Selectman meeting meeting Mike Currie pledged to follow .......................what?

    Since Mike's promise OML violations, Ethics Violations, Policy violations, bylaw violations have all been filed, charged, or witnessed by Taxpayers.............


    How is Mike going to whitewash this fact? What excuse for no Accountability will be given by Mike or Adam?

    Will Mike step down as He has not followed his promised coarse?

    This is another failure by the Administration. Will the Selectboard review these latest failures by Administration when his contract comes up next month?

    Adam was satisfactory according to selectboard prior to these events..........what are they thinking now?

    Mike and Adam should be sent packing on the same bus..............
