SUNDERLAND A handful of new faces were nominated for local government positions at the town’s annual caucus on Saturday.
The meeting, which was rescheduled from Feb. 27 due to inclement weather, failed to nominate a candidate for a three-year term on the Selectboard. In a first for Sunderland, the caucus was held outdoors at the Town Offices.
