Board of Selectmen

‘There Is No Guarantee’: P&Z Appointment Postponed After Selectman Corbet Cites Lack of ‘Process’

By Michael Dinan | November 3, 2021

Saying she hadn’t had enough time to interview a candidate for the Planning & Zoning Commission, Selectman Kathleen Corbet this week prompted the postponement of an appointment to the highly visible body. Corbet said during Monday’s Board of Selectmen meeting that she only received the resume of town resident Paul Knag on Friday afternoon and would need to abstain from a vote on his appointment to P&Z. First Selectman Kevin Moynihan said during the Board’s regular meeting that he’s known Knag “for a dozen years” and that the resident is an experienced attorney who’s stepping down from his full-time role at his firm. Addressing Knag, a guest at the meeting held in Town Hall, Corbet said, “Paul I don’t have the pleasure of knowing you, and so I’ve just got to tell you, if we go forward with the vote this week, I’m going to have to abstain, and only because as we have discussed in the past, we want to make sure that we have a chance to get to know who we’re approving so like to have the opportunity to do so over the next two weeks.”

She continued, “Otherwise I’m going to have to abstain from the vote, because there’s a fiduciary responsibility that we make sure that we know who we are appointing. That’s all.
