Skip, you touch on a very real subject and that is when local boards can run under home rule.

Maine is a home rule State. It sounds great until you get a rogue board or small business owners get control of the board. This is a real problem in small towns and is why many towns have to have larger boards. In towns with 3 to 5 selectmen, watch out. It can and does lead to more problems than it's worth.
