Former Foxborough Town Manager Taken to Court

A request for a preliminary injunction by against former Foxborough and interim Southbridge Town Manager Kevin Paicos was recently denied in Worcester Superior Court.

John Pulawski, a Southbridge resident, asserted that Paicos violated the town’s home-rule charter when he served in the position for 14 months according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. According to Pulawski, acting town managers can only serve for 12 months.

But Judge William F. Sullivan siding with the town’s argument that Paicos was allowed to serve for over a year because he was an interim town manager and not an acting town manager. In addition, Sullivan said the dispute is moot with the hiring of Ronald San Angelo as the full-time town manager.

After leaving Foxborough in 2013, Paicos has bounced from job to job during the proceeding 2 years. He has also served in similar positions in Northfield and Jamestown, R.I.
