Massachusetts: Danvers Select Board disapproves of recall law

Danvers Select Board disapproved of a warrant 3-1 that would allow for a recall law, though the Town Meeting will be voting on the law on May 15 regardless. Select Board member Matthew Duggan said that he believes he will be targeted in a recall. Duggan faced calls to resign from the Chairman Daniel Bennett for missing meetings and sanctioned for misbheavior. He also photographed a women's hose and sent her insulting messages before she appeared for a permit. He was a stripped of leadership roles for the behavior.

Last year, the Town Meeting did not vote for a recall (also following the Select Board recommendation). 

The proposed recall law would need 350 signatures to start, than get 20% of registered voters in 20 days (town has 4300 people).
