Crescent City Recall of Council Members, California, 2010
From Ballotpedia
Contents |
Mayor Kelly Schellong, and council members Charles Slert and Kathryn Murray were targeted for recall by Westfall.
Recall petitions in California must state a reason for initiating a recall, and the public notice of intent to circulate a recall petition for several of those who are targeted refers to the Wastewater Treatment Plant project, sewer rates, “failure to exercise oversight” and “lack of independent thinking”.[1]
Westfall was herself censured by her fellow members of the City Council shortly before she launched the recall efforts. The declaration to censure her said that she had made “reckless, slanderous, libelous public statements and/or accusations” toward her colleagues and other city staff. Westfall was also removed from all committees.[1]
On November 17, 2010, Westfall also filed a lawsuit against the city, mentioning Kelly Schellong, Dennis Burns, Charles Slert and Kathryn Murray as named co-plaintiffs.[2]
