On the other hand, the selectmen, town clerk, moderator and state rep are TMM by virtue of their status. The 189 are there as elected TMMs. So the real TMMs...
I am wounded. Not a real TMM ... I shall now retire to my room and sob softly. Does this mean I can't count my years as a selectman toward my 30-year pin...

I was hoping that this thread would tuck its head and crawl away, but since it hasn't, I feel I need to give a clearer picture of Harry's "sin" At the end of...
