Ohio: Signatures to be handed in against Waterville Councilmembers

Petitioners are set to hand in signatures for the recall of Waterville Councilmember Anthony Bruno and John Rozic over a vote in favor of the construction of a concert venue/amphitheater. Petitioners need 25% of the turnout from the last municipal elections in 90 days, which seems to be 681. 

A recall vote would be in May/June if verified.There would be a temporary appointment to fill hte seats, with an election in November (the terms expire in 2025). 

Petitioners have also turned in a resolution demanding that the amphitheater decision be put to a vote. In that case, they turned in more than 1100 signatures, with 952 verified. 

The article discusses the 2009 recall effort against Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner, which was tossed out by the Ohio Supreme Court because of a missing sentence in the petitions.
