Texas: Council looking to set date for Rusk City Councilmen recall vote

Looks like enough signatures have been handed in to get the recall against Councilman Ken Ferrara and Jan Pate on the ballot. The council is debating setting an election date.

Both over alleged "highly inappropriate comments to the city secretary" Rosalyn Brown by Ferrara. Ferrara has since apologized and was reprimanded by the council. 702 signatures were handed in against Ferrera and 701 against Pate. 637 valids are needed to get the recall on the ballot.

Mayor Angela Raiborn has backed the recall effort and the two councilmembers are suing.
