Southport Selectman Gerry Gamage will contact Consolidated Communications regarding a request to move six veterans’ banner placements. Consolidated Communications didn’t specify the problem, according to town officials. During the July 17 selectmen’s meeting, Gamage volunteered to find out more about the request. He will contact Consolidated Communications’ employee Paul Perry who lives in Southport. “I will ask him what their issue is with the banners,” Gamage said.
