How Much Will the New Town Manager be Paid?

That's the latest question in our You Ask... Patch Answers series.

We actually answered this question last week, but it may have been lost in all of the talk about former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kevin Smith being hired as Londonderry's new town manager, so we figured we'd share the information again.

According to Town Council Chairman John Farrell, Smith will be paid $105,000 as Londonderry's town manager. That's almost $30,000 less than former Town Manager Dave Caron earned in 2012, even though he resigned around mid-year.

Smith appeared on WMUR's "Close Up" program on Sunday and said he's "happy to be given the opportunity" in Londonderry and is eager to get to work. His first day on the job will be Aug. 15.
