Selectmen fire Town Administrator

March 14, 2008--Selectmen fired Town Administrator Evans Juris and named Assistant Town Administrator Debra Shackett as interim administrator.

In the wake of his firing, Juris protested that Town Administrators have been meeting in private, violating Right to Know laws. "I have, in the past, expressed concerns, privately then publicly, that a quorum of the Board of Selectmen might be communicating in private to discuss and to make decisions about matters that the law, as I understand it, requires be done in public session," wrote Juris in a statement he released following his termination.[1]
