Florida: Crescent City Commissioner appeals judge's ruling allowing recall to move forward

Crescent City Commissioner Cynthia Burton is suing to overturn a judge's decision to allow the recall effort against her to move forward. Petitioners need 151 valids for the recall to get on the ballot. The issue is complaints about a sunshine law violation, though it was over a vote to abolish the police department (which took place two years ago). A former mayoral candidate, Craig Oates, is leading the effort.

There was previously failed recall against another Commissioner, Judith West, over the same vote.
