Idaho: Mullan mayor, councilman recall on the ballot on March 12

Mullan Mayor Mike Dunnigan and Councilman Dan White will be facing recall votes on March 12. Petitioner needed 77 signatures and got 82 and 78.

This seems to be one of the key precipitating events:

A confrontation between Bergstrom, Dunnigan and a female companion was posted on YouTube on Sept. 17 (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-843011). In the clip, which CNN posted on its website, Dunnigan threatens to “beat the living (expletive) out of” Bergstrom, who was apparently on his own property. Dunnigan yelled the words from the driver’s seat of a blue minivan. He was apparently upset about a sign posted on a utility pole across the street from Bergstrom’s home. Bergstrom said the sign said, “Please drive slow.”
