Recall election upcoming

Ashby voters will head to the polls on Tuesday, Dec. 19 to decide the fate of three library trustees.

At the special election voters will be asked to decide whether to support a recall of the trustees Paul McGrail, Lisa Gordan and Matthew Alfond.

The election was called through petition, which cited voters’ disagreement with the management of the library personnel and the design and oversight of the library building project.

Voters will decide not only whether to recall the individual trustees, but if the recall succeeds, who to fill the positions.

There are three candidates vying to unseat the incumbents: Annette Acosta, Barbara Despres and John Steffian.

Polls are open for the Special Election at Ashby Elementary School on Tuesday, Dec. 19 from Noon to 7:30 p.m.
