CONWAY — Steve Angers was appointed to the Conway Municipal Budget Committee on Wednesday but not before getting a grilling from budgeteers’ school board representative Mike DiGregorio, who charged Angers with being deceitful in a Sun column that ran over the winter.
The committee had three vacancies to fill. One was created when longtime member Jim LeFebvre resigned last month because he’s moving to Texas. Andrew Peroni, a write-in candidate in April, also resigned because he’ll be working out of town. There was a vacant seat that no one ran for in April. There’s also a vacant East Conway seat.
