Oversight Means Town Treasurer to Be Filled by Write-In Candidate<\/strong><\/p>\n February 17, 2016\u00a0 by Kaitlyn G Woods<\/p>\n Due to an oversight by the Town Manager, the position of Town Treasurer will have to be filled with a write-in candidate.<\/p>\n Town Treasurer Kathy Wagner said she informed the Town she thought her position expires in March, but assumed she was mistaken when her position wasn\u2019t included among the open positions the Town advertised prior to the candidate filing period.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was an oversight on my part,\u201d Town Manager Kevin Smith said. \u201cThe position itself will be on the ballot, but because no one signed up during the filing period, it will work in the way we have had in the past where the top write-in vote getter will get the position.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Attorney Mike Ramsdell was asked to determine whether the Town was out of compliance by having failed to advertise the open position.<\/p>\n \u201cHe said there\u2019s nothing in State law that requires any elected position to be advertised, but we do have to put positions on the ballot when they expire,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n Wagner said she hadn\u2019t initially planned to run for another three-year term, but has since decided to mount a write-in campaign for the position.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will definitely be harder, but I\u2019m going to actively push and get the word out there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Read the rest here<\/a><\/p>\n Although the Town was contacted by me on this issue. The last update from the Town Clerk was on February 10th informing me that the Town attorney would be looking into the issue. The town has not posted the position on it’s website<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook page<\/a>, or sent an email to the Town News subscribers.<\/p>\n Dottie Grover filmed a new episode of One Voice At A Time February 18<\/a>. Featuring candidate for Budget Committee, School Board, Town Council, Library Trustees and Town Treasurer. <\/strong>The only candidate for the write-in Treasurer to attend was incumbent Kathy Wagner.<\/p>\n
