Maine town worker fired for recording colleagues

The Associated Press

NORRIDGEWOCK — The woman who collected payments for hunting and fishing licenses, sewer bills and other services at Norridgewock Town Hall has been fired for making secret audio recordings of conversations in the building.

Town officials say 66-year-old Charlotte Curtis who is an office clerk, but also holds the separate elected positions of town clerk and treasurer, recorded conversations when she was not in the room.

Her Jan. 30 termination letter from the town manager says audio recording devices are not allowed because of confidentiality violations.

Curtis tells the Morning Sentinel she cannot discuss why she was recording conversations because she is fighting the termination and filing a grievance. She said she was not recording the public.

She can carry on with her elected positions unless she is voted out of office.
