District 4 Councilor Michael Cannon. Eight complaints have been filed about alleged inappropriate behavior, according to records. (City of Framingham)
FRAMINGHAM, MA — Framingham City Hall employees have filed eight complaints since 2018 against District 4 Councilor Michael Cannon alleging a range of misbehavior from gender bias to bullying, according to internal records and interviews with employees.
The complaints have spurred two separate inquiries by an independent investigator who specializes in workplace harassment. They also provide a deeper look into the relationship between Cannon and members of Mayor Yvonne Spicer's staff. Cannon has often sparred with members of the administration during public meetings — and has been involved in several high-profile spats with Spicer and her staff recently.
