Maine: Bangor School Board member facing petitions after stalking arrest

Bangor School Board Member John Hiatt is facing recall efforts over his arrest on charges of harassment and stalking (Hiatt claims that he is innocent and apparently blames autism). Hiatt also serves as treasurer of Penobscot County, but there are no county recall laws.

Hiatt was originally the Republican state Senate candidate, but was replaced by Sean Hinkley, who is now the leader of the recall effort is Sean Hinkley (Hinkley lost the race to the Democratic candidate). Hinkey needs signatures from 10% of registereds in 30 days (though he first needs to get 100 signatures to get the additional petitions).
