North Dakota: Bismarck School Board Member resigns in face of recall effort

Bismarck School Board Member Emily Eckroth has resigned from the school board after petition were taken out over a confrontation with police during a DUI traffic stop (she cursed out the police and urinated in the back seat of the patrol vehicle). Her husband, who lost a legislative primary, was stopped (but not charged). She pled guilty to a misdemeanor. The school board has already voted to censure her. Petitioners needed 2709 signatures in 90 days to get to the ballot.
