New Jersey: One leader of recall effort against Trenton Councilman pulls out; Mayor and Councilwoman still targeted

The recall effort against Trenton Councilman Joe Harrison is facing a set back after one of the lead petitioners has asked to remove her name from the recall committee. Petitioners now need to submit a new petition to start recall efforts.

One of the other lead petitioners is a former aide to the council president.

The recall effort is also targeting Mayor Reed Gusciora and Councilwoman Robin Vaughn. The three fought at a recent meeting, with Vaughn attacking the city's nonprofits, leading to being called numerous names by Gusciora. Vaughn then called Gusciora a "pedophile" and then attacked Harrison with vituperative comments about his parents.
