North Carolina: Tobaccoville Mayoral recall law signed

Tobaccoville's recall amendment has been signed into law after passing the House and Senate. The bill came out of the resignation and then rescision of the resignation of Mayor Billy McHone. The issue was a proposed ordinance to restrict firing firearms within 1000 feet of an occupied building and ban exploding targets.

Petitioners need 343 signatures (20% of registered voters) to get a recall on the ballot.
