Richard Danforth, who served on the three-person board of selectmen from 1993–2009, along with Swan, and was re-elected last month, testified he had concerns about her involvement in the town’s road projects.
Danforth described his working relationship with Swan on the fourth day of trial in U.S.District Court.
“Early on, it was cordial,” he said. “She had a lot of good ideas for the town. Later on it got a little contentious.”
