5/4/2026 contentious Town Council discussion regarding Chairman Dunn’s decision to not move forward with a proposal to regulate how officials access legal services. Councilor Paul and Bouchard express frustration over rising legal costs and the decision to table a policy intended to limit unauthorized spending. The town manager explains that the measure was designed to stop individual counselors from unilaterally incurring expenses that burden the taxpayer. While some officials argue that these actions violate the town charter, Councilor Faber refuses to revisit the issue, leading to a breakdown in cooperation. Ultimately, there is a significant conflict over financial accountability and the proper adherence to procedural rules within the council.
