The Board of Selectmen is under fire again from attorney George Harris, who has filed another state Open Meeting Law complaint, this time regarding a guest column written by the board for the Wayland Town Crier’s Dec. 1 issue. The article, referred to at the most recent selectmen meeting as both an “op-ed piece” and a “guest column,” was titled “Tax relief for Wayland”.
