Machias Select Board upholds ambulance worker’s removal, sets cannabis vote

The Machias Select Board has decided to stick with the previous decision to remove an ambulance worker, despite a public outcry. This move highlights ongoing tensions within the town’s administration and workforce. Meanwhile, the board will convene soon to weigh in on a proposed 180-day freeze on new cannabis permits, a decision that could significantly impact local businesses and regulatory landscape. This dual focus on personnel and cannabis policy underscores the town's complex challenges and the board's role in navigating them.
