Your State Rep Is Indicted — Still on the Payroll
Your State Rep Is Indicted — Still on the Payroll
Accountability
First Barnstable District · Federal Criminal Case
State Representative Christopher Flanagan was arrested April 11, 2025 and indicted on five counts of wire fraud and one count of falsification of records. He has refused to resign.
Governor Healey, MassGOP, and the selectmen of all three towns in his district have called for his resignation. He has ignored every one of them. Yarmouth, Barnstable, and Sandwich have been without effective state representation for nearly a year — while Flanagan continues to collect his $100,558 annual salary from Massachusetts taxpayers.
No legislation filed. No constituent services. No accountability.
This is taxation without representation. You are paying his salary. He is not doing the job. And nobody has the power to remove him until the next election.
