Our newest Paris selectman, elected June 9, 2009, was sworn in at Town meeting June 13, 2009. At the selectmen's meeting June 22, he voted. He voted in a 3-2 majority to fire Town Manager Sharon Jackson.
Consider the action of our newest selectman on 6-22-09 in light of the 1999 Town Meeting vote on article 7: if his term did not begin until July 1, should he have voted at all? And, if not, was the vote to dismiss Jackson, then, valid?
