Massachusetts: Dalton adopts recall law at town meeting

Dalton voters approved a recall law at the annual town meeting on May 5 (though unsure of the vote). Petitioners would need 50 percent of turnout in 20 days, and there is an absentee veto, meaning that the vote total must exceed 80 percent of the votes cast in the most recent town election. 

The recall occurs as town leadership has faced attacks with a town rejection of the police budget.
