Snake Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 5 minutes ago, steve from amherst said: $28,500 a yr. Not breaking the bank but seems not needed. Throughout New England, “Town Meetings” became the standard instrument of local government with authority exercised through, usually three, selectmen. In one sense, it was a form of pure democracy, but even so it did not allow the participation of women or slaves, and in some cases property ownership or church attendance was required for voting. Many aspects of town government still practiced today are the products of 17th and 18th century colonial laws. Early town charters required that constables and road surveyors (now road commissioners) be chosen; later town clerks were mandatory to maintain the official records and “select persons” were authorized. In 1691 the Massachusetts General Court (colonial legislature) ordered that all town meetings be held in March. Moderators were required in 1715. Thus the Maine tradition of March town meetings continues, run by moderators, in which select persons are elected and town business is conducted. A “town” is created only by a special act of the Maine Legislature and thereby assumes certain obligations and gains certain privileges common to all towns. The “Home Rule” provisions of the state Constitution and laws allows towns to change their forms of government and to adopt local ordinances (laws) that do not conflict with state or federal laws. Towns may adopt a charter, like a local constitution, to establish their governing structure. Those that have select boards are governed by Maine State law: Title 30-A, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
