An effort to recall Selectman Steve Ingerson in Ashby, Massachusetts from his positions was launched in December 2014.[1] Ingerson was successfully recalled in a recall election on March 30, 2015.[2]
Recall proponent arguments
Ingerson is targeted for recall by fellow Selectman Michael McCallum. McCallum alleges that Ingerson is not connected to the town or its employees over his failure to sign payroll warrants. "It's the profound disrespect for the people who work for the town such that he refused to even pay them," said Ingerson.[1]
