A former Cohasset selectman who headed the now-defunct Massachusetts International Trade Council was improperly awarded an $83,140 severance payment and should return what he has received, says a report issued earlier this month by State Auditor Suzanne M. Bump. 

Bump wants Edwin “Ted” Carr, former chairman of the Board of Selectmen, to return $6,346 of the severance he already pocketed and to make sure he doesn’t receive any more.
