These records document a multi-front FOIA effort on May 8, 2026, to recover crucial Board of Selectmen minutes shielded from public view prior to the town referendum. The file includes email correspondence forcing the Town Clerk to admit the First Selectman sequesters minutes in his office, leading to the recovery of the March 26 minutes (which finalized the budget vote). It also includes the formal request and recovery of the conspicuously missing March 9 Budget Workshop minutes, which detail contentious Board of Education budget cuts and requests for new executive staffing.
