Warner’s longtime town clerk resigned earlier this month after 24 years in the position, citing a “hostile, unpleasant and dysfunctional environment” at the town offices.
Judith Newman-Rogers, who served as deputy town clerk and then town clerk for more than two decades, submitted her resignation at the Warner select board’s Oct. 2 meeting.
Newman-Rogers read her resignation letter into the record.
“Previous administrative traits of transparency, trust, honesty, lawfulness, communication, integrity, accountability and equal application of policy and procedure has been supplanted with deflection, delay, denial, disrespect, dismissals, discrimination and blatant division of personnel,” Newman-Rogers wrote.
Selectman John Dabuliewicz asked Newman-Rogers if there was anything the board could do to change her mind, according to meeting minutes. She replied, “I tried.”
Calls to the town administrator and select board members were unsuccessful Friday.
