Elected Officials

When do we start to CORI (Criminal Background Check) people who want to run for Elected positions.  You can run for office from jail as Mayor Cianci (Providence RI) did; however, if Danvers Voters KNEW about the Criminal Activity of Elected Officials maybe they would not be so quick to vote for them.  Presently there are DUI offenses by our elected officials that are kept very quiet.  I am in favor of CORI's for ALL Town Officials.  That may take a few people OUT of the running.
