Fire chief partially reinstated

ORFORD—Ahead of several looming deadlines to finalize a budget for town meeting in March, the Orford Selectboard voted last week to partially reinstate Orford Fire Chief Terry Straight. The board suspended Straight in December after months of acrimony between. After meeting on Jan. 10 with Straight and his attorney Marc Beaudoin, the board administratively reinstated the chief to facilitate budget preparation and other administrative tasks.
