CONWAY—To keep the town budget flat next year, and to offset increases that are considered unavoidable, like employee benefits, selectmen are trimming services and cutting a job.
Cuts include $76,400 for street lighting and asphalt, and eliminating the position of the recycling compliance offi cer for a savings of $53,991. The budget for general assistance is being reduced by $11,289; and interest paid on debt is falling by $18,196. “I don’t like all that’s in this recommended
budget,” Earl Sires, town manager, said at Tuesday’s selectmen’s meeting when presenting the 2011-12 budget of $8,934,134, which is $4,800 higher than last year. “I think we can call it pretty close to level,” Sires said. see BUDGET page 10

CONWAY — The police department has hired an attorney to prosecute cases in district court, the first time in more than two decades the position of prosecutor is filled by a lawyer instead of a police officer. “I enjoy prosecution,” said Janet Hay Subers, who has been with the department for just over a month. “It’s fast-paced, it’s exciting. I like being a public servant. I like being in the courtroom.” Lt. Chris Perley, who served as the Conway Police Department’s prosecutor from 1989 to 1992 and from 1996 to 2008, said it was time for the department to get its own attorney. “We see a greater number of legal challenges,” he said. “As the world changes we’ve got to change too.” see SUBERS page 12
