California: Oroville City Councilor petitions move to gathering stage

A second attempt to recall Oroville City Councilor David Pittman will move forward, (the first failed because the petitioners couldn't get enough signatures on the initial petition). The issue was the removal of trees in front of the Oroville Cemetery, though the same petitioners also opposed the opening of a Wal-Mart superstore.  The petitioners originally wanted to knock out the whole council, but two members haven't been there the requisite 90 days, and they decided against targeting the other two.
