Arlington Selectman Seat Vacancy After Abrupt Resignation
After one Arlington Selectman resigned amid a bit of controversy (that he denies) there's a temporary empty seat. And it needs filling.

ARLINGTON, MA — Remember how the youngest selectman, Steven Byrne, abruptly announced he was planning to give up his seat four months before the end of his term?
Well that last day is fast approaching and the town is in the market for someone to fill his spot for the rest of the term.
"The Board of Selectmen is seeking an Arlington resident to serve as a member of the Board of Selectmen to fill an unexpired term, through April 7, 2018 (1 vacancy). Former Selectmen are encouraged to apply," reads a town announcement.
