Firing prompts call for inquiry

Boston Globe 9/8/13: Firing prompts call for inquiry. A Wayland resident has filed an Open Meeting Law complaint against the Board of Selectmen after its abrupt firing of Town Administrator Fred Turkington, and now the state attorney general’s office is considering its own probe. Meanwhile, residents for and against Turkington’s dismissal, and the way in which it was handled, are expected to come out in force to Monday night’s board meeting, the first since the 3-1 vote on Aug. 26 to fire him. “Citizens are very concerned and hoping for an open dialogue at our next meeting because so much was left unanswered,” said Selectman Joseph Nolan, who cast the vote against dismissing Turkington.
