Massachusetts: Shirley Selectmen try to kill recall effort

Selectmen Kendra Dumont and Robert Prescott have filed a petition to toss out the recall effort over complaints the town clerk allowed more time then the 30 days legal alloted and that the signatures were gathered by people who weren't the actual petitioners. The recall is scheduled for January 30.

The recall is over a vote to give the Town Administrator greater health insurance benefits after a town meeting rejected the idea.
