Qualified Volunteer Sought For Ethics Board

There is a vacancy on the Board of Ethics that must be filled by a Republican or an unaffiliated voter. 

Any Republican who is a resident of Newtown and is interested in this position should call Joe DiCandido, chairman of the Candidates Committee, at 203-426-2477, Dennis Bloom, chairman of the Newtown Republican Town Committee, at 203-270-7703, or any other member of the Republican Town Committee.

The Board of Ethics is composed of six regular members and two alternate members. The first selectman, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, appoints all members to this board.
