Will he pursue the Town ' s i me res f or his repu tat i on j Paul said the Commit-Lee should ask SIMMA to change their consultants . mark Fare has his mind set l way only . Personally , PaU l f Ound him very frustrating to deal with . Do we have the authority to ask SMMA to change their consultant?
