For the first time, City Council will hire its own lawyer

FALL RIVER It’s been a discussion for years, but never funded, and now with $40,000 to expend the City Council is set to hire its own attorney.
During last summer’s budget talks, the City Council expressed a desire to fund the position and Mayor Paul Coogan added a line item in their budget.
The City Council recently advertised a solicitation for resumes from attorneys and firms, said City Council President Cliff Ponte. Interviews will likely be conducted in open session and then the council will vote for the new hire.
“I will work with council leadership on how we are going to decide, but I want the process to be as transparent as possible and I want it to be a public process if possible,” said Ponte. ....

Two selectmen resign from Wenham board after discrimination complaint

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.” ....

As the year and legislative session came to a close, Gov. Baker last week signed into law legislation creating a police accountability and oversight system under which officers need to be certified every three years and can lose their certification for violating to-be-developed policing standards.
As the country reacted to the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of police officers this summer, policing reform was catapulted to the top of Beacon Hill’s priority list and lawmakers set out on what would become a complicated, circuitous and, at times, controversial path to address police violence and some of the disproportionate impacts communities of color experience from law enforcement, and to bolster the state’s oversight of police officers. ....
