Robert Coulter and Justin Katz The result of the recall election says more about our opposition and the times we’re living in than about us or our supporters. A small group of activists were willing to lie relentlessly in order to get enough people who opposed us to sign the recall petition and then vote,...Read More

Robert Coulter, President, Tiverton Town Council Having been elected four times in Tiverton over the last decade, I’m now in the odd position of writing as a target in an odd recall process where just 405 voters can vote me out despite over 2,000 voters voting me in just last year. In all this, Mr....Read More

Joel Bishop, Tiverton Tiverton is a beautiful town with wonderful residents. People here get to know their neighbors and lend a hand when help is needed. I’ve only lived here for 5 years, but have seen people stop to help stranded motorists more than once. I have also come to realize that Tiverton has a...Read More

Nancy Driggs, Town Council Wow! Deb Pallasch.  Shame on you for claiming your litany of unsupported assumptions, opinions, and erroneous facts serve as a “path to recall.” You claim by clairvoyance to know how TTA members are feeling, and the motivations of all the signers of the recall petition. You assert that the actions of...Read More

Robert Gaw, Tiverton I would like to put personality differences aside and discuss the facts of the past 16 years in Tiverton. It was a dream of mine as a child to live in this beautiful town, even though I have seen some horrendous politics in the town during my 31 years here. I look...Read More

Raymond Fougere, Tiverton There seems to be a lot of one-sided rhetoric in Tiverton these days, against the town council particularly those on the right (as you look from the gallery). Pure and simple they are TTA members.  They are interested in controlling taxes in Tiverton as their first mission.  They are very interested in...Read More

Laura Rom, Tiverton In the 2017 special election for Tiverton Charter Review Commission (CRC) there were 24 candidates running for 9 available seats. 9 of those candidates were endorsed by the TTA, and subsequently, all 9 were duly elected by the voters of Tiverton. The sitting town council dismissed the 12 months of intensive work...Read More

Robert Coulter, Tiverton Town Council President When it comes to board appointments in Tiverton, longstanding Town Council policy is clear.  Whenever there are more applicants than open seats, two things apply.  First, the applicants must be interviewed by the council.  Second, the council does not vote until the meeting after all interviews are done.  This...Read More

Nancy Driggs, Tiverton Town Council McLaughlin’s allegation that this town council is not representing the will of the voters is a tall tale divorced from reality. There were 18 candidates who ran for the Town Council in November 2018 and the “will of the people” elected as the majority Tiverton Taxpayers Association (TTA)-endorsed candidates: Donna...Read More

Richard Rom, Tiverton Recall elections are for recalling sham artists, people who somehow hoodwinked voters into thinking they were great citizens and would steer their town into great prosperity. However, the Tiverton recall election is exactly the opposite. Four million dollars is driving the Tiverton recall election. A gentleman named Bill McLaughlin (who started the...Read More
