Recall Election in Maine

  • In Maine, an election will be held to recall Litchfield Town Selectman Tim Lachapelle. The recall effort was launched in November 2016, when recall organizers initiated a petition against Lachapelle after he sent a letter criticizing other municipal officials to Litchfield residents. The organizers alleged that Lachapelle’s claims were without merit. The letter he sent claimed that code enforcement officer Steve Ochmanski stole from the town. He also argued that the town's hiring of Bryan Lamoreau as the transfer station manager was inappropriate due to his marriage to the town manager. Lachapelle also criticized town officials for their failure to fulfill public information requests in a timely manner. He later told local media that he would not attend board meetings until the conclusion of the recall because of these disagreements. To require the special recall election to take place, organizers collected 213 valid recall petition signatures, which surpassed the 176 signatures required.
