Two selectmen resign from Wenham board after discrimination complaint
Leigh Blander / Correspondent
In a surprising twist to a discrimination complaint against the town, two of Wenham’s three selectmen resigned on Tuesday, Jan. 19. Selectmen John Clemenzi and Jack Wilhelm both stepped down.
That leaves the town with one selectman Chairman Gary Cheeseman.
The resignations come after months of controversy and Clemenzi’s repeated refusals to step down.
“I truly love our town of Wenham and our community,” Clemenzi read from a statement at the Board of Selectmen meeting. “In order to allow these women and the community to move forward, I have decided to offer my resignation. It has been my great honor to serve this community. I hope the town can move forward at this point.”
