California: Contra Costa Supervisor facing petitions from unions over raise

Supervisor Karen Mitchoff is facing petitions, at least partially over a failed attempt by the supervisors to give themselves a 33% raise. Looks like her former union backers are leading the charge, who are unhappy with their benefits and pay and on Mitchoff's retaliatory threat over the union's opposition to the proposed pay hike.  Petitioners would need 11,500 signatures (10% of registereds) in 160 days. The recall would cost between $500,000 and $600,000.
