Residents express opposition to changing Orange town clerk from elected to appointed Modified: 4/4/2021 3:41:03 PM Related stories ORANGE A proposal to change the town clerk’s position from an elected one to an appointed one is expected to be on the Annual Town Meeting warrant. But many who spoke at an information session this week expressed their opposition to the change. Resident Ann Reed asked Selectboard members on Wednesday to consider backing off from this plan. “There are two positions in town that absolutely stand by democracy, two positions in town only that oversee democracy and have for 200 years in this town those two positions are that of moderator and that of town clerk,” she said. “The mere idea that you would even consider removing democracy from the choosing of the position of town clerk is most disturbing.”
