Town Manager Defends Himself Amid Investigation | Boston News

Stoughton’s town manager, Thomas Calter, stands firm as he denies interfering with the investigation into Sandra Birchmore’s death, despite being placed on paid leave alongside Police Chief Donna McNamara amid a harassment lawsuit and mounting pressure. Calter insists he never asked McNamara to alter or suppress any part of the probe and had no contact with her after she filed her complaint 16 days later. Facing a no-confidence vote from key unions, Calter defends his record and remains committed to transparency, cooperating fully while acknowledging he can’t conduct official business during his leave. His sole focus: letting the independent investigation run its course and ensuring justice — and his name — are cleared.
