Massachusetts: Government change petition won’t make ballot
The organizers behind an initiative to change Falmouth’s current form of government will not be able to gather the required number of signatures to put the question put to voters in May. The group, headed up by F. Bradley Stumcke Jr. of Sailfish Drive, East Falmouth, needed to obtain signatures of 3,872 registered voters, or 15 percent of the electorate, to place the question on the ballot.
