From Fosters on Saturday:

Among the job opportunities he (Grossman)has come across? Town manager of South Berwick.

While surfing the Internet, he saw a posting for the manager’s job on the Maine Municipal Association website — and he said he plans on applying for the position.

The chances of the council actually offering him job are close to zero — the council is hoping to hire a new manager by the end of the year and the terms of the three councilors who asked for his resignation do not expire until after the November election — but in the event he is offered the job, he said he would take it.

That said, he added, “I don’t think they want to hire me back.”

(^tongue-in-cheek). I know that, Anonymous. Just thought someone might have the info. I don't care a fig about who's hired. Just thought I'd try to squelch a rumor.

At a meeting this evening, someone brought up a rumor they'd heard about the most recent town manager being rehired? I can't believe it is true, but stranger things have happened...

Makes it hard to suggest cuts or more cost-effective ways of doing business....

Supt. She is also acts as the receptionist. They seem to be replacing the person who currently holds this position, not adding a new one.
