Weston’s Finance Committee is the official fiscal watchdog for the town. Because it is difficult for all taxpayers to be completely informed about every aspect of a town’s finances, finance committees were established so a representative group of taxpayers could conduct a thorough review of municipal finance questions on behalf of all citizens.
Appointment
The Finance Committee is comprised of nine members, appointed by the Moderator except for unfilled terms (i.e. due to a resignation), which are appointed by the Committee itself and the Town Clerk; each term is three years.
