From the Rehoboth Board of Selectmen’s official minutes, posted on the town website. We check every vote against the members present and quote the exact wording. MassVoter never grades or scores officials. Member photos: cropped from the Town of Rehoboth’s captioned Board of Selectmen photo (rehobothma.gov). The original is small, so the photos look soft.
