California: Carson City Clerk recall on Tuesday

Carson City Clerk Jim Dear is facing a recall vote on Tuesday over allegations that he harassed city workers, made negative racial remarks and acted erratically. Dear survived a recall vote in 2008, when he was a city councilman (he was also mayor). When he moved from Mayor to City Clerk, his salary jumped from $22,700 to $122,900.

Councilman Donesia Gause is running to replace Dear.
