Are you kidding me?

The finance director and Board of Selectman want to raise the pay of the payroll clerk by $5000 per year after adverstising the position in the Waterbury Republican only. That is ridicoulous. They (Sue Costa especially) needs to find out what the other towns pay their clerks and also get a quote from Paychex or some other payroll company. The town also must get rid of the antiquated weekly payroll system...Time to get into the 21st century Thomaston. We aren't buying it anymore...Also, where does the Board of Selectman get off raising salaries. Who gave them the money? If it's not in the budget it's illegal as far as the Leatherman is concerned...
