Female Attleboro Official Wants ‘Councilman’ Out of City Charter
"Councilman" and "committeeman" have to go from the city charter of Attleboro because they are gender-specific, a city official says.
Laura Dolan, a member of the Attleboro City Council, wants the council to ask the Massachusetts Legislature to get rid of the terms, replacing them with, respectively, "councilor" and "committee member," according to The Sun Chronicle.
