Town Council meeting 5/19/2025:
Londonderry Town Clerk Sherry Farrell addresses the council, highlighting the importance of elected officials maintaining a high standard of conduct at all times and the significant influence their actions and reported information have on the public. She expresses gratitude to colleagues who spoke in favor of her position’s value, then shares a story about a resident who misunderstood her compensation based on a newspaper article, revealing how incomplete or potentially misleading media coverage can create false narratives and misinform the community. A subsequent speaker challenges a previous statement about the clerk’s lack of cost of living adjustments, referencing town reports as evidence of annual salary increases.
While Farrell implied ‘Fake News’ by a local paper, which was not named, she herself, also left out key details. Town Councilor, Dan Bouchard, noted that statements made at a prior meeting were incorrect.
