Disaster Plan Needed
Sadly, in the past few months, Selectman Judy Jacobi passed away unexpectedly and Selectman Dave Depew suddenly resigned. We are now one member away from losing quorum on the Board of Selectmen. Yet we have no mechanism in place to fill their seats other than wait for the next election.
Coincidently, disaster struck this past week in Wenham when 2 Selectmen suddenly resigned and their BOS lost quorum. Without a quorum, Wenham Town business has ground to a halt as the BOS cannot vote or approve anything. Like Marblehead, they have no mechanism in place as they struggle to figure out this mess.
