65 appointments made by former New Milford Mayor David Gronbach just before he left office last week have been rescinded by newly elected Mayor Pete Bass.  There was a special Town Council meeting held last night on the matter. 

The group also voted to table 58 appointments to boards and commissions being made by Bass, most of whom had their appointment rescinded. 

The appointment of a Town Attorney was approved last night.  Matt Grimes will fill the role, but the Newstimes reports there was some concern with his appointment.  When Grimes was chairman of Brookfield’s Republican Town Committee, he and the Republican registrar used a little known state law to kick a member of the party out for lack of good faith standing. 

Grimes has also served as personal attorney for Bass in the past.
