New Mexico: Judge tosses out Las Cruces recall effort

Looks like the recall against Las Cruces City Councilors Gill Sorg, Olga Pedroza and Nathan Small, may be coming to an end. Judge Mary Rosner upheld the city clerk's decision to throw out petitions in the face of fraud allegations (757 people requested that their names be removed from the petitions),

The issue was a minimum wage law -- small business owners opposed to the law were seen as the primary backers of the recall effort.
