Maine: Two Freedom Selectman recall set for June 11

Freedom Selectmen Steve Bennet and Ron Price are facing a June 11 recall which will take place on the same day as a school budget vote. The issue is claims of abuse of office and conflict of interest against Price. There were complaint about a renovation of a post office, a purchase of a property and a lease of an excavator. Petitioners handed in 53 signatures for Bennet and 51 for Price.

There is only one other Selectman on the board, so the town government will not have a quorum if the recall is successful.
