Alna will have at least one new selectman after next spring’s elections. Third Selectman Greg Shute told Wiscasset Newspaper in an email reply Dec. 31, he will not seek re-election. And in a phone interview Dec. 31, Second Selectman Doug Baston said he was undecided.
Nominatons for their seats and other town seats opened Dec. 30. Town Clerk Sheila McCarty’s email announced the second and third selectmen’s seats are each two years. The town will also elect a road commissioner for one year and a Sheepscot Valley Regional School Unit representative for three years.
Road Commissioner Jeff Verney said he will run. And newly appointed SVRSU representative Kristina Verney declined comment.

Alna selectmen said Dec. 17, they might give voters a second option to change shoreland rules. Ralph Hilton’s proposal via his petition this fall will be on the March town meeting warrant, and so might another article, Second Selectman Doug Baston said.
Selectmen voted to hold the petitioned article over to the annual town meeting, planned for March 26 for elections, and March 27 for the open meeting, if pandemic conditions allow one then. “We’ll have to cross that bridge when we get there,” Third Selectman Greg Shute said in the Zoom meeting.
