OSSIPEE — Selectman Jonathan Smith on Monday challenged his fellow board members' decision to close town hall to the public last week.

Selectmen Martha Eldridge and Sue Simpson decided earlier this month that the selectmen’s office, Bub Avery Memorial Gym and the Freight House Annex (which handles some town hall functions) should be “temporarily closed to the general public” due to a “spike in local COVID-19 cases.”
