Ms Lewis on the ad hoc committee to select a new (more competant) City Attorney? That's like letting the Fox guard the henhouse! :-(

Open Letter to Ms. Lewis,

Please resign your seat on the City Council.

If you don't know why I'm asking this, then you need to resign. If you know why I'm asking this, then you need to resign.

Either way, please resign your seat on the City Council.

This is just the beginning of a domino effect in re: to resignations in our political corridors.
It is a bit too obvious for those who believe this strange.

Let the bidding begin. It's an open process, and residents who have complaints about the town's legal advice and practices over the years should make their voices heard to the council, publicly. And respectfully.

My own gripe is that reviews of three council members' actions in the last year have been done by the town attorney instead of an independent investigator. Conflict? I think so.

Let's step up to this challenge and turn things around here. Get involved.
