(Northfield, MA) The Chair of the Selectboard in Northfield is pushing for stipend increases for selectboard members. The topic was brought up by Heath Cummings during budget discussions last week. Currently, Selectboard members receive $3319 over the calendar year. A cost-of-living adjustment would bring that figure up to $2352 with the chair making $2499. Cummings has proposed a larger increase and referenced the responsibilities of the role of selectman. He has not announced if he is running for re-election later this year.
