Monadnock Ledger-Transcript Published: 5/10/2021 2:15:34 PM Karen Hatcher has dropped out of the race for Peterborough Select Board, citing a previously undiscovered passage in the Peterborough town employee handbook that precluded her from serving on the board and as Peterborough’s Community and Economic Development Coordinator. “It came to my attention a few minutes ago that there is an explicit line in the Town of Peterborough employee handbook that prevents a town employee from being a Select Board Member,” Hatcher wrote in a statement posted on social media Sunday afternoon. “I was unaware of this when I filed to run for office.”
