Finance committee members Mark Williamson and Michael Thompson won two seats on the board of selectmen, besting incumbents Marjorie Kraskouskas and William Moffitt. Meanwhile in the board of health race, Representative Town Meeting member Jay Maslen beat out incumbent Susan Shaw for a three-year seat. In the selectmen's race, Williamson came in first with 1,675 votes while Thompson came in second with 1,438 votes. The pair handily beat Kraskouskas, who came in third with 932 votes and Moffitt, who came in fourth with 910 votes. Asked to point out specific issues that led to the results, most of the selectmen said it was impossible to pinpoint just one issue and that voters clearly wanted a change. During incumbents' tenure on the board, controversies have ranged from development issues in Hickory Woods to the hiring of Town Administrator Mark Fisher to the stalemate over the fate of the town's million dollar Russian painting. In the board of health race, Maslen topped Shaw by exactly 200 votes. Maslen received a tally of 1,306 votes while Shaw received 1,106. Much of the campaigning in the board of health race focused on development issues. However, Maslen said he thought the issue of fluoride was an undercurrent in the race. Shaw was the only remaining board member who had voted to sue the board of public works to halt fluoridation - a lawsuit that was stopped later when the board of health's membership changed. Incumbents carried all other races.
