Cheryl Peaslee, a longtime Pittston resident, is collecting signatures to recall Joe Caputo from the Select Board over what she calls a 'change in atmosphere' at meetings.
Residents voted to recall Selectman Glen Mantor in a special election Tuesday, and elected Shawn Bean to replace him, according to preliminary results from the town clerk Tuesday night.
A public hearing is scheduled for Monday on a push to remove Selectman Glen Mantor from office, with his critics saying he allowed personal feelings to drive his decision to reject a request for a full-time code enforcement officer/maintenance worker.
Selectmen have questioned Town Manager Tim Curtis about the departure of the road commissioner and others, and one selectman claimed Curtis had 'secretly' hired a cousin for a municipal post, which Curtis denied.
