Times: Hercules recall effort turns in signatures

— by Jeffrey Wisniewski — 8 February 2011 — 2 comments below »

Tom Lochner reports… “After an 18-day signature drive, proponents of a recall of two Hercules City Council members handed the City Clerk a batch of petitions Tuesday that they say contain ample signatures to put the issue on the ballot. [...] [Resident Dan] Romero said the group submitted 2,857 signatures to recall Mayor Joanne Ward and 2,987 to recall Councilman Don Kuehne. They need about 2,500, or 20 percent of the approximately 12,500 voters registered in Hercules — on a given petition to qualify it for the ballot.
