Outraged over what happened with our Board of Selectmen? Come be heard

There has been significant public outrage over the firing of Town Administrator Fred Turkington, particularly regarding the process (or complete lack thereof) by which it occurred.

I filed an Open Meeting Law complaint to address one component of that (that the agenda didn't properly inform the public of the topic to be discussed) this past week.  I requested that the selectmen give me 15 minutes on the agenda to discuss my complaint.  They have elected instead to meet in Executive Session and not to put me on the agenda.  

My complaint is posted online here

The Selectmen are meeting on Monday (September 9).  Many residents requested a larger room and an extended public comment period, and that request has been granted.  If you would like to be heard (or even just come to listen to the discussion), please plan to attend.  The public portion of the meeting begins at 7:20pm and the comment period is scheduled for 35 minutes.  The agenda is posted here.
