Resident accuses Selectboard member of unilateral action in handling March email
Summary
Resident Ken Hall accused Selectboard member Jim Linville of acting "dishonest, unethical, abusive" by unilaterally deciding the board's response to a March email and said the handling required a costly special meeting.
During the public comment period, resident Ken Hall addressed the Selectboard about the handling of an email he sent in March and leveled strong criticism at Selectboard member Jim Linville. Hall said Linville "decided on his own to deliberately misrepresent" his email, and characterized Linville's actions as "dishonest, unethical, abusive."
Hall told the board the issue "should not have taken a formal complaint in a special meeting" to resolve and that the earlier special meeting "cost the town money, too." He said the conduct discourages residents from raising concerns and urged the board to change how it responds to constituent communications. The Selectboard thanked him for his statement; the minutes record no response from Linville in the meeting transcript.
