Selectmen, Housing Authority lock horns over board appointment

The Housing Authority and Board of Selectmen found themselves at odds last night as they considered who should temporarily fill a vacant seat on the committee that oversees Wilmington's public-housing stock.

Hey, didn't McCoy support both Marilyn Cox and the grandson for their elections tothe Housing Authority. Seems kinda fishy that both Cox's resigned. Mrs Cox because of a possible ethics violation levied by Charlie Fiore and now grandson Mathew Cox resigns as the board is doing its most important task - filling a vacancy of the Director of Housing.

Mikey, you sure know how to pick'em.....
Maybe the next resignation should be McCoy!!

Marilyn Cox did not resign, she carried out her term to the end. And read the paper, her grandson accepted a job outside the state of Massachusetts which is why he resigned. Mike McCoy is the only advocate and voice that the elderly have in the Town of Wilmington. And, Townie, for the record, you should get your facts straight before posting in an online forum, and perhaps brush up on your grammar and spelling.
