Local news 1130 am

Julie Gilman a sitting Selectwoman has filed to run for the Town Clerk slot! So, if she runs and wins,then the remaining Selectmen will have to name a person to fill her seat till next year. If she loses, she will retain her seat since she is not resigning.If she resigns then we could go with  2 candidates for Selectmen and get busy without a lame duck.

This news  threw me a little.

UPDATE/Corrections

Julie Gilman would have had to resign prior to the 23rd, the Warrant is set after that date.

So, we will have a temporary Selectman should Julie  assume the top spot in the Clerks office.

You can’t wear two hats. Some do, but it looks silly with one always askew.

In that  event, a major win at the polls for Mrs Gilman,(extended hours at Clerk windows? Having trouble with campaign hooks here) let’s organize a press gang and slip over the Squamscott River to Paul  Scafidi’s house. Really, who else you gonna call on?

We should however  allow Paul  great dispensation relative to his activities on the links.

The Acting Town Clerk Andrea Kohler was tapped #2  as she is the only other Exeter resident employed by the Clerks Office apart from Mrs Hartson(Town Clerk) who has now retired. You must be a Exeter resident to assume the number one and two position in the office. When we get to the Candidate Nights we will have a chance  to meet everyone running for various positions.

Why  is the Town Clerk position an elected slot? Anyone?

I find the dog tags that are issued quite cheesy and not reflective  of our Historic  Town. Bailey would appreciate an upgrade and perhaps a color choice or two, he is very into Seasons.

“Geez! C’mon will ya,  I just want to register my car”

“Sir, hold on please”

“Some  people really!”

“Yes, I agree the copper color looks great on his day collar, but wait, what about evenings?”

“Well, we do have the special edition collection, let me grab that sample case”
