Is there a breakdown in trust in Plainfield? At the July 15 Select Board meeting, public comments revealed significant tension regarding the Town Administrator search and town communications. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #PlainfieldNH
A resident explicitly accused Town Administrator Halleran of being dishonest about the search process and threatened litigation. This points to a growing gap between town leadership and community members regarding transparency.
In response, the Board defended the process, noting they are working with a consultant to ensure an 'inclusive' search. While the Board approved posting the job on July 15, they did not directly address the specific accusations of dishonesty.
With a goal of having a new hire by Jan 1, the community deserves to know: how will the Board ensure the next Administrator operates with the transparency residents are currently demanding? #PlainfieldNH #Accountability https://meetingwatch.org/nh/plainfield/select-board/2026-07-15/
During the July 15 Select Board meeting, a significant issue of public trust surfaced regarding the search for Plainfield's next Town Administrator. A resident used the public comment period to accuse Town Administrator Halleran of lying about the search process and threatened legal action. This highlights an escalating tension regarding how the town communicates major transitions to its residents. The Select Board responded by emphasizing that they are working with a consultant to facilitate an inclusive search process. While the Board granted permission to officially post the position on July 15, their response focused on the administrative timeline and the composition of the search committee rather than directly addressing the allegations of dishonesty. As the town moves toward a January 1 target for a new hire, the community is watching closely to see if the search process will rebuild trust or further deepen the divide between residents and town leadership. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/plainfield/select-board/2026-07-15/ #MeetingWatch #PlainfieldNH
