[SUPER=03-Boones Mill;]
During last night's town council meeting, Lynn Frith, who serves as town manager, police chief and utilities supervisor, was criticized over his multiplicity. FORMER town councilman and treasurer Craig Drewry said Frith has too much power and used it deny him access to town records. Frith says he's not sure what Drewry was looking for, but he believes his complaints stem from another matter.
