I feel bad for the policemen in all of this. Yes, the chief was right to complain, but where was he when the process started? Why didn’t he speak up then and demand organization? The guy who thought he had the job, what about him and his family? The people who forced the politicians to change there mind may think the selectmen did the right thing and thank them, but think about it. This looks like mob rule. They substituted one bad decision for another one.

Hopefully, The Daily Sun and other media will revive this story just before election day, so people can vote accordingly.

Just when you thought no public officials could possibly be dumber than the County Commissioners! Of course Mr. Smith is “in agreement” with the decision of the selectmen to throw him under the bus. Did he have a choice? The selectmen had no game plan to hire a police chief – what a surprise! Then they withdrew their employment offer after publicly introducing the guy to the community at a town meeting – how classy! Now they’ve turned the whole mess over to a bunch of people over whom they will have no input or control – apparently forgetting we hired them to run the town! When Mr. Smith loses the job a second time, he can count his blessings he won’t be working for these bozos. Then he will prepare a lawsuit. Get your check books out and say thanks to the selectmen for a job well done.
