The town of Paonia has a new town administrator. Stefen Wynn was sworn at the last town council meeting. The new administrator was immediately faced with ongoing issues at the town’s water treatment plant. Citizens were once again asked to watch their water consumption until an issue with a cleaning filter can be resolved.
Wynn is also facing backlash from a number of businesses on Grand Avenue concerning the American flags posted by the American Legion for the 4th of July holiday. Business owners say the flags are usually removed after the holiday. Wynn told KVNF that he would need to research the matter. This is an ongoing story and KVNF will follow up next week.
