As much as I like this Town, my ability to serve in Town Government has been compromised by what I believe to be serious violations of the Public Trust by another elected official, Ciskowski wrote. My moral convictions and what I hold as true are more powerful than my like for helping out with local government. Ciskowski wrote that around the time of Town Administrator Edmund St. John IV s departure late last year, he felt he had experienced state ethics violations and Open Meeting Law violations while on the board. I contemplated filing with the appropriate State agencies my concerns, but at this point, hold that it is best for the taxpayers and voters for me to remain silent, he wrote.
CHESHIRE Town officials and the Hoosac Valley Regional School District have reopened lease negotiations after a misunderstanding about the space the district is renting at the former Cheshire Elementary
CHESHIRE, Mass. The town will update its lease agreement with the Hoosac Valley Regional School District for the use of Cheshire School. The town and school district agreed to collaborate on updating the lease agreement Tuesday and after an, at times, contentious discussion the Board of Selectmen agreed to allow the district to continue using the library space in the interim while the inconsistent lease is sorted out. I think if we just add and subtract some things, Selectman Mark Biagini said. I think we just have to clean it up, and I don t think we have to draw up a whole new contract.
