LEBANON - Incumbent Paul Philbrick will face a trio of challengers in June elections for a three-year selectmen's seat, including veteran candidate Corinna Cole.

Philbrick, a retired PNSY worker, joined the board in March 2014 to fill the interim selectman's seat left vacant by the resignation of former selectman Jason Cole, who left under a cloud of suspicion regarding his handling of the Rescue Department's Enterprise Account which he helped manage as the assistant rescue chief.

Corinna Cole, meanwhile, who often precedes public addresses with the announcement that she is not related to Jason Cole, will be trying for the fourth time in three years to land a selectman's seat.

Other candidates include Paul Nadeau, a former budget committee member and part-time transfer station employee who will be looking to join fellow transfer station employee Royce Heath on the board. Heath won a three-year selectman's seat last June.
