Massachusetts: Lancaster's recall law now before state legislature

Lancaster's attempt to get a recall law on the ballot (which passed in a special town meeting 287-58) is now being examined by the state legislature's Joint Committee on Election Laws. The issue that appears to have prompted the interest in a recall is the failure to renew the Town Administrator. Board of Selectmen Chair Jean Syria and Vice Chair Susan Smiley appear to be the likely targets of any recall attempts.
