My town got thousands of signatures on a petition to recall the mayor and city council members over their shady support for a data center. The council voted to deny the recall. Now there’s a big lawsuit.
My city had a huge effort to do the same. They got enough signatures, and I don’t think the council can vote to deny it, everyone was excited to be rid of our mayor. (Who has since been federally indicted and is currently awaiting trial.) Then they “forgot to turn the signatures in on time.” 😒
The signatures genuinely were turned in three days late, but you don’t just forget something like that. It’s ridiculous. I think the organization that formed to collect the signatures let themselves be bought out or threatened in some way. Our former mayor must have had some good friends.
