New Jersey: Recall efforts expand to Councilman

Councilman Sal Gullace is now facing recall efforts by the same group who are leading the charge against Mayor Jimmy Davis. Petitioners need 2569 signatures in 160 days. The group claims they have about 2500 signatures against Davis, but need 8178.

The issue seems to be a proposed development which includes a mosque. However, the claim is that the councilman allegedly once called the Second Ward " a dump" and that he tried to "pilfer" more than $20,000 in health benefits (which was about a health benefits coordinator mistakenly advising that 3 council members were entitled to health insurance).
