• Prosecutor clears Dover police accused by mayor of illegal wiretapping (dailyrecord.com) — Dover residents are being told by county prosecutors that the town’s police department did not illegally wiretap Town Hall phones, despite months of public allegations from Mayor James Dodd. The finding intensifies a long-running power struggle between Dodd and Police Chief Jonathan Delaney, raises questions about who knew the phone system recorded calls, and has prompted the town to launch its own audit of the VoIP system.
