Nicholas Selden urges investigation into town manager, alleges withheld evidence and perjury
Summary
At the Woodstock Selectboard meeting Nicholas Selden accused the town manager of concealing witness statements, misrepresenting a 10/13/2024 incident, and committing perjury at a personnel hearing; Selden asked the board to investigate allegations of discrimination against Joseph Swanson.
Nicholas Selden used the public-comment period to make multiple formal allegations about the town manager, including that the manager concealed witness statements, misrepresented facts about an October 13, 2024 incident, and committed perjury at a personnel hearing.
Selden said, "I wanted to welcome Norm onto the select board and state that I really hope, Norm, that you bring a fresh breath of air into this group of very corrupt and demented individuals who don't care about the law," and later alleged that "mister Duffy admitted that he concealed witness statements" and that "Mr. Duffy committed perjury yesterday." Selden urged the board to investigate claims that Mr. Duffy discriminated against Joseph Swanson on the basis of homophobia.
The transcript records Selden’s allegations during public comment but does not include a formal board response, investigation timeline, or rebuttal in this meeting. Because these are allegations raised during public comment, they remain unresolved within the record of this meeting.
