A week or so ago there was some discussion at GeeGuy's about the recall petition. I spoke today with Debbie Mart, the Elections supervisor and learned the following:
The petition has been rejected for the third time. In this case, the Cascade County civil attorney did not feel there were enough specifics given. Ms. Mart indicated there was an allegation made of violating the open meeting law, but the petition did not stipulate which meeting was supposedly in non-compliance of the law. She said the attorney feels the group is very close in finally meeting the criteria, although she does not know if they are going to submit anything more. She said they could be pursuing an injunction through district court.
I asked if the city attorney, Dave Gliko was involved in any way. She said he was carbon copied (cc'd) the legal opinion and the charges filed for the recall petition, which those being recalled have a right to see.
