Alaska: Homer petitions approved for signature gathering

Petitions against City Council members Donna Aderhold, David Lewis and Catriona Reynolds, over their support for a resolution on the Dakota Access Pipeline -- and what sponsors claim would create a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants (though I'm not clear where that is from), have been approved for the first stage. Petitioners would need 373 signatures each.

These recalls may fail the judicial review stage. Additionally, they must get the petitions for Lewis and Reynolds in by April 11, because their terms are up for reelection in October (though that seems a little unclear as well -- any petition must be received within 180 days of the end of the term, and if the election is in October, the end of the term is likely in January).
