Leaders in a Maine town said Sunday they will meet with their town manager, who has come under fire for espousing white separatist views. Jackman town manager Tom Kawczynski recently made public comments bashing Islam and calling for preservation of white European heritage in northern New England. Town lawyer Warren Shay said Sunday the town manager's beliefs aren't shared by Jackman officials, who intend to meet with him at Jackman Town Office at 8:30 a.m."The meeting is to talk with the town manager about comments attributed to him in a number of newspapers and other media outlets around the state," Shay said. "The beliefs reflected in those comments are not shared by any of the select persons or the Town of Jackman." Jackman is a town of about 850 people near western Maine's border with Saint-Th?ophile, Quebec, about 170 miles north of Portland.
