This. I went to a meeting a few years ago where someone asked why some important position in town wasn’t filled. The Selectboard said they couldn’t fill it. The person complained it was important and the Selectboard needed to do something about it. The Selectboard offered it to them then and there. The person said no. They shrugged at them.

Don’t like how your town is run? Run for Selectboard. Volunteer for the zoning board. This place only works if we make it work.
