Ted Gattino

Ted Gattino serves as a member of the Barton Selectboard alongside members Dee McDowell and Jeff Cota, and has been involved in deliberations over the town's fiscal year 2026 budget, including discussions with the Orleans County Sheriff's Department over patrol and dispatching costs. He faced an ethics charge brought by Development Review Board Chair Lenny Zenonos, who alleged that Gattino attended a meeting regarding a farm operation in Orleans and falsely represented himself as acting on behalf of the selectboard; Gattino acknowledged introducing himself as a selectboard member but denied claiming to represent the body, stating his only interest was seeing the matter "resolved in a civil manner."
