WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — Hartford’s incoming town manager says she applied for the position after seeing the way town officials and community members have approached controversial issues including immigration over the last year.
“I really liked that Hartford was not afraid to tackle the tough problems,” Tracy Yarlott-Davis said in a phone interview Wednesday, using the much-debated Welcoming Hartford ordinance, which was approved at Town Meeting in March, as an example. The ordinance prohibits Hartford police and other town officials from sharing a person’s citizenship information with federal authorities.
