6. Lenny was present to comment on the latest citizen's comment that he read about in the paper. He was very disturbed. The board of selectmen would have been remiss if they did not appoint the peoples choice for town clerk and recreation director. Both persons were elected to their positions by the people, they are both very qualified. This town has been blessed with qualified and concerned selectmen that do an excellent job. If those people keep picking apart every thing that they do, there will not be any qualified people who want to run for the position as a Selectman.
