Arizona: Four Payson council members face petitions

Payson Mayor Tom Morrisey, Vice Mayor Janell Sterner and Councilors Jim Ferris and Suzy Tubbs-Avakian are facing petitions over the 4-3 vote to fire the Town Manager (and other complaints). Petitioners need 770 signatures for the mayor and 1653 for the other council members -- the discrepancy is not clear from the article, but it must be due to turnout of some sort.

One of the lead petitioners is Stan Garner, who is the widow of former Councilor Su Connell.
