New Mexico: Albuquerque School Board facing recall threat

Following a fight that led to the resignation of the former school Superintendent, a parent is now looking to recall six school board members, Don Duran, Peggy Muller-Aragon, Lorenzo Garcia, David Peercy, Analee Maestas and Barbara Petersen, over the $100,000 buyout the superintendent got to resign. A last board member is not being targeted due to his support for their position.

Petitioners would need between 200-1200 signatures to get the recall on the ballot in 110 days. However, New Mexico is a malfeasance standard state, so there will also have to be a showing of cause before a judge -- no easy feat, as we've repeatedly seen.
