California: Upland Mayor recall fails

Petitioners, led by former City Manager Stephen Dunn, failed to get enough signatures to get a recall on the ballot against Mayor Ray Musser. Petitioners claims to collect about 4400 signatures -- they needed more than 7800 signatures. The issue was the removal of buyout of Dunn's contract (which apparently cost $500,000) and the removal of school crossings that they claim led to the death of a child.
