I think some people who are active in the town perceive the town manager negatively and others perceive him positively. I think the public expects town hall to run efficiently and the town to meet their needs effectively and politely. I don't think most of the public is necessarily aware there is a town manager, or what his responsibilities are, and if things were going badly, the B of S would have the complaints directed at them.
I do not think there is any reason for them to assume a general negative public perception of the town manager. And it is also why the town manager is an employee of the Board of Selectmen: his most important area of responsibility is to see to it that the public doesn't have a reason to call their elected representatives and complain. Those of us who are active and noisy may be what sociologists call public opinion leaders. But we should not let our egos inflate and assume we are public opinion makers.
