Oregon: Garibaldi Mayor resigns after petitions handed in

Garibaldi Mayor Tim Hall resigned after signatures were validated for a recall effort. Petitioners handed in 120 valid signatures. Hall said that he received pushback from city officials after he started looking into finances. Hall was one of only four Black mayors in the state.

A former Mayor, Judy Riggs, was a leader of the petition effort, claiming that Hall did not follow procedures and backed the fired City Manager in her $1M whistleblowing suit against the city (which has been dismissed).
