California: Petitions taken out against third Calexico official

A third Calexico official, newly minted Mayor Gloria Romo, has been served with recall petitions moments after taking the job. 

Former Mayor (it seems like they switch the position among city councilmembers), Councilmember Raul Urena and Gilberto Manzanarez (who was named Vice Mayor) already have a recall that has been set for April 16.

Petitioners handed in 5157 for Urena, of which 4288 were validated (869 disqualified) and 5105 for Manzaanarez, of which 4243 were validated (862 disqualified). They needed 4196.

The issue is a claim of poor leadership, though stories note that Urena is Calexico's first transgendered mayor as the factor.
