The Williamstown, Massachusetts select board has chosen a candidate for interim town manager.
The choice comes after months of controversy in the Northern Berkshire community stemming from a series of scandals within the police department. Williamstown’s police chief and town manager both resigned following a lawsuit – since dropped from a police officer last summer.
A recent revelation first reported by WAMC that the police department illegally accessed the files of its critics has only compounded the situation. With town manager Jason Hoch set to leave this month, Charles T. Blanchard has been tapped to become interim town manager.
“A lot of my experience had been as a selectman, he said. And then, you know, finally I get to be a town administrator in Paxton. I tried retirement after that, and I didn t like it. So I went right back in and went and I got a job as the interim in Palmer.”
