In Bethel, proposed charter changes are moving closer to a vote. Among the top items: shifting selectmen to four-year terms, restoring a public utilities director, and officially recognizing the town’s fire commission. A volunteer charter panel has wrapped up public hearings and will meet again this month to decide whether to pass the changes to the Board of Selectmen. Voters could see the revisions on the November ballot—if the board signs off. Many believe longer terms might attract stronger candidates.
