HALIFAX â After a year marked by contentious meetings, Select Board candidates vying for a three-year term faced tough questions from residents in a forum. Incumbent Mitchell Green answered one about whether the board has any etiquette or policy about candidates convicted of a crime. He said board members are elected and they cannot tell each other how to do their job. âIâm totally not the person I was 30 years ago,â he said Tuesday during the forum held by conference call while explaining that a conviction has no effect on his performance as a board member.
