Oregon: Jefferson Mayor and City Council facing recall effort

New Mayor Cyndie Hightower and new councilors Bob Burns, Brad Cheney and Stan Neal are facing recall efforts over claims that they are not acting ethically or fiscally responsible. The significant issue seems to be the new officials push for a public vote over annexation of 60 homes into the city. Burns has already resigned, though it sounds like that is simply because he sold his house and is moving.

Petitioners would need 135 signatures.
