“You can stay employed but you don’t need to be employed on the tax dollars if you’re not doing the job.”

Tracy Post, chair of the Yarmouth, Mass., Select Board. She was referring to state Rep. Chris Flanagan, who has kept his seat but not appeared in public since being indicted on federal fraud charges in April. Flanagan’s criminal complaint requires him to be employed or actively looking but Yarmouth is now the third and final town in his state House district that has voted to call on him to resign for non-performance of duty.
