New Jersey: Irvington Township mayor recall can't start until May 12

Petitions against Irvington Township Mayor Tony Vauss over a lawsuit claiming that he forced a municipal employee to have sex with him in a township office will not be allowed to begin until May 12, when he's in office for 50 days. There was a lawsuit that held that notice of intent to recall was prematurely filed.

This decision may prevent petitioners from hetting a recall on the November ballot. Petitioners need 25% of registered voters in 160 days.

The sex act occurred before Vauss took office.
