Massachusetts: Rockland Selectman resigns over investigation into other officials' inappropriate behavior

Selectman Ed Kimball has resigned in the face of a recall threat from former selectman Mary A. Parsons over a complicated investigation.

Selectman Deidre Hall, who also has since resigned, has been accused of pressuring Town Administrator Allan Chiocca into sexual activities because she would be voting on his contract extension and salary increase (Hall has since resigned). The investigation substantiated the allegations, but Kimball called the investigation a sham.
