The Treasurer election was very close and the whole thing is out-of-control because of politics. Also, recently at a Town Council meeting, the town auditors noted that the town for years had not complying with accounting standards and that this Treasurer was starting to fix some of those things. Check the tape. Thank you, TCC, for your efforts to create a discussion forum. This town desperately needs a resource where people can learn from each other in an engaging and respectful way.

This is an example of blamefinding , instead of problem resolution I am not surprised to see Lousie Durfee, with her decades long experince in running Tiverton Town Council, try to blame this fiasco on a Treasurer with one year in office.
