Select Board liaison says he was bypassed in conservation communications

Town of Newfields Select Board · August 11, 2026

Summary

Select Board member Mark Kasper said he was not included in email exchanges and discussions between other officials and a Conservation Commission candidate, calling the omission 'underhanded' and asking to be included in future liaison communications.

Select Board member Mark Kasper said he had asked that information be routed through him as the liaison to the Conservation Commission and expressed frustration that several email exchanges and conversations had not included him. Kasper said the omission gave the appearance of impropriety and could expose the Town to legal risk if lines of communication were not clear.

"My concern was that the information and conversations between Hoby and Tom had bypassed him," Kasper said, explaining why he wanted to be included. He asked that future communications about Conservation Commission business include the liaison so questions could be addressed promptly and publicly when appropriate.
