Leaders of the Eastern Slope Regional Airport Authority want to whittle its 24-member board of directors — which currently includes a representative from each of the 15 member towns (including three from Conway and four from Fryeburg, Maine) — down to 11. The new board would include two representatives from Conway, three from Fryeburg and six at-large members chosen by an appointed committee. This means individual towns would no longer be guaranteed a representative or decide who is appointed. However, the authority would still ask for funding from towns in the region on their annual meeting warrants. The general membership is set to vote on this bylaw change Nov. 5.

This week’s Tele-Talk question is: Do you think towns should be asked to contribute to funding the Eastern Slope Regional Airport Authority without having any representatives on the authority?
