Oregon: Signatures verified in Wheeler County Judge recall

Judge Patrick C. Perry is going to face an August 15 vote, as petitioners handed in 169 valids. (Perry does hear juvenille and probate cases, but also serves as Chairman of the Board of Commissioners). Seven county officials have called on perry to resign over an inappropriate relationship with a county employee, excessive litigation and ordering raises by garnishing his own salary, but not actually following through on the reduction.
