Comment on Condemnation of Jackman town manager’s racial comments grows

Jackman selectmen are scheduled to meet this week with Town Manager Thomas Kawczynski to discuss his white separatist, anti-Islamic and anti-feminist comments as condemnation of his remarks continued to grow on Sunday. The town’s attorney, Warren Shay, said the four-member board called for a meeting with Kawczynski at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Jackman Town Hall. “The beliefs attributed are not shared by the selectmen and do not reflect the beliefs of the townspeople in general,” Shay said Sunday, speaking for the board. On Sunday night, the president of the Maine Town, City and County Management Association issued a statement calling on the embattled town manager to resign. “The divisive and extreme beliefs and opinions publicly expressed this week by the Jackman Town Manager Thomas Kawczynski are fundamentally incompatible with the role and responsibilities of a municipal manager,” said the group’s president, Larry S.
