At the June 1, 2022, Select Board meeting, I placed an item on the agenda that shouldn’t have been there. Once this mistake was made, however, I could’ve done things differently. I did not and, because of my mishandling of the discussion, the meeting went totally out of control.

The way I treated members of the board and members of our community was unacceptable.

I am ashamed of my actions. I apologize to my board, and to anyone who was at the meeting or watching at home. Most important, I apologize to the entire town. You elected me to serve you, and I did a poor job of doing that on Wednesday. It was by far the lowest point in my five years on the Select Board.

The town of Clinton deserves better than what it got from me on June 1. I promise I’ll learn from this mistake, and I pledge to serve you better in the days ahead.
