Several instances in the campaign have raised concern. This includes <br /> unverified claims made by a Town Official that one candidate sign was replaced with another <br /> candidate sign which indicates a clear violation of the Mashpee Social Media Policy. The post <br /> became an integral part of the campaign, and although the specific post by the Town Official was <br /> removed, comments made by other individuals referencing removing the signs were made available <br /> until the day of the election. No correcting statement was made by the Town Official consistent with <br /> the Social Media Policy which states that Town Officials and/or Town Employees must exercise <br /> caution with respect to comments they post in general, and of those concerning the Town, a Town <br /> Department and/or Town's Officials and/or Employees. <br />
