Renewal of Seekonk Public Works Head's Contract Could Be a Fight

The future is uncertain for Bob Lamoureux, Seekonk's superintendent of public works. The Board of Selectmen is expected to vote next week on whether to begin negotiations on renewing his contract with the town. Some supporters are concerned that a majority of the board is not interested in keeping him.

Several residents contacted Seekonk Patch about the issue. They may attend next week's meeting to show support for Lamoreux. Former Selectman Bill Rice will air a tribute show for Lamoreux on TV9 today at 1 p.m. and again on Saturday at 6 p.m.

"I am simply giving a voice to the many, many residents who appreciate Bob's good works and commitment to Seekonk," Rice wrote in an email to Patch.

Lamoureux did not respond to an email from Patch for this story.
