WENDELL A former police officer has filed a discrimination complaint against the town, claiming he was let go because he is white an assertion the town’s Selectboard chair called “utterly baseless.”
Christopher Maselli worked for the Wendell Police Department until the town opted to not reappoint him to his position when the current fiscal year began on July 1.

This April marks the 20th anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), which raises public awareness about sexual violence and educate communities on how to prevent it. This year, SAAM is celebrating its 20th campaign with the theme “We Can Build” to empower everyone to build safe online spaces now and for future generations.
How we talk about sexual violence matters. Our words shape the world around us. When we reflect on and change how we think and talk about consent and sexual violence, we can create a culture of respect, equality, and safety.
I am proud to be one of the newest Co-Chairs of the Sexual Violence Working Group within the Massachusetts Caucus of Women Legislators, and excited to get to work with Rep. Christina Miniccuci and use our decades of experience as rape crisis counselors to move this work forward. And with our new two-year Legislative Session underway, I wanted to highlight some of the legislation I have introduced.
