Matt Dannheisser resigned as Century Town Attorney after 33 years, effective immediately, citing difficulties working with the town’s current senior staff. The Town Council subsequently hired Daniel Cox as the new attorney. Dannheisser’s resignation email, sent to Mayor Ben Boutwell and five members of the Century Town Council, notably omitted Town Manager Dave Murzin.
