Signatures have been certified for the recall of Kingston Selectmen Chairman Josh Warren and Selectman Elaine Fiore. Petitioners handed in 2200 signatures and got 2073 valid. They needed 1987. The recall effort is over claims of a verbal aggressive attack on Selectman Jessica Kramer by a town employee and Warren's refusal to put the employee on leave. There was a counter claim that petitioners are upset about taxes and are looking for them to fire the Town Administrator.
Petitioners need approximately 1987 signatures (20% of registered voters) to get on the ballot.
A third Selectman, Sandy MacFarlane, is up for an election, so she will not be facing a recall effort.
Kingston had a recall in 1991, with Board of Health member Larry Slot being kicked out.
