Levine … has declared that he will accept no endorsements from civic organizations, businesses, neighborhood associations, or any group that might expect preferential treatment by the Board of Selectmen. “I will take no money and make no money,” Levine said, meaning that he will donate his selectman’s annual stipend of $2,500 to charity if elected and that he and his law firm will not represent clients before the board during or after his tenure there. “I will be beholden only to the people,” Levine said.
