The Maine Mirror presents Deep Dive Episode 020, examining a series of interconnected accountability questions involving Berwick Police Chief Timothy Towne, Town Manager Arthur Capello, the Berwick Select Board, and Rep. Thomas Lavigne.
It starts with a simple question that remains unresolved: Where is the working Berwick Police Department recording?
From there, the documentary trail expands to Towne's campaign for Maine House District 149, his proposal to remain police chief while serving in the Legislature, communications involving Lavigne and members of the Select Board, and the Board's eventual unanimous approval of Towne's dual-role arrangement.
Where is the recording? What was Lavigne's interaction with Select Board members? What changed before the unanimous vote? And where are the records that answer those questions?
This episode does not presume wrongdoing. It follows the available records, separates what is known from what remains unknown, and asks the questions the public record has yet to answer.
The Maine Mirror — Truth. Transparency. Accountability.
