Cutler Selectman David Glidden met with the Machiasport selectboard on Aug. 26 hoping to resolve a longstanding clam flat access issue affecting the livelihoods of a handful of Cutler clam diggers. However, the plan he suggested hit an unexpected snag almost as soon as he finished his pitch.

As Glidden explained at the meeting, “We have an issue in the town of Cutler with accessing Holmes Bay.” He described it as “a long, dragged-out issue,” that Cutler has attempted to remedy several times without success.
