The town has hired two people for critical Town Hall positions, filling gaps after a series of departures shook the small municipality and left it scrambling.
SANDISFIELD â When people arrived at Town Hall for Monday nightâs Select Board meeting, they found an envelope on the table with board member Mark Newmanâs resignation letter inside.
It is the fourth departure from a town office in two months, and Newman resigned on what was the last day of Dolores Harasykoâs 26 years as town clerk here.
His resignation is the latest controversy to roil the town after a spring of discontent over a commercial pot cultivatorâs plans, disagreements turned caustic, and followed by the sudden announcement that Town Administrator Joanne Grybosh would resign and Harasyko would retire. It didnât take long before Assistant Town Clerk Pauline Bakunis also said she was quitting.
