Massachusetts: Petitioners hand in nearly 6000 signatures in Fall River Mayor recall

Petitioners handed in almost 6000 signatures in the recall effort against Mayor Jasiel Correia II. They need 2510 valids. Correia, who was arrested on federal wire and tax fraud charges for defrauding investors, has also faced a city council no confidence vote.

Fall River recalled and removed Mayor Will Flanagan in 2014. Flanagan is a potential candidate in a recall race.
