Cheshire Building Commissioner, Town At Odds Over Reappointment: Report

The two sides differ on length of term.

CHESHIRE, CT — When is a reappointment not a reappointment? When the intended commissioner doesn't like the terms.

Cheshire Public Building Commissioner Mark Nash, the group's chairman, declined a one-year reappointment this week because he wanted a full four-year reappointment, reports the Meriden Record-Journal.

Nash believes the one-year reappointment, to fill a vacancy, was disrespectful, especially after he had been serving on the commission for years. Some on the Town Council, which voted on the reappointment, believes Nash is the one being disrespectful.
