Two members of Weare’s five-person select board have resigned. Replacements will be appointed to fill the seats until next March’s town elections.
The resignations of Janice Mathews and Salim Blume were announced Monday night. No reason has been given for the decisions.
Both are relative newcomers to town. Blume bought his house on Duck Pond Road in 2022, while Mathews bought her property on Woodbury Road in 2018.
The resignations mean three seats will be on the ballot in March: Matthews’ seat had one year left. Blume was up for re-election next year as is Benji Knapp.
