The city attorney is claiming that the recall of Dickinson Mayor Sean Skipworth is invalid. Petitioners handed in about 1150 signatures and needed 689 valids (they had 30 days).
The City Attorney was said that the petitions did not confirm the number of signatures on each page; questions of who was facing a recall; and a lack of specifications on the recall claims.
The recall is over claims that he "failed to meet fiduciary responsibilities." There are a host of other complaints, including over his support for the hiring a city manager who has faced assault charges.
Skipworth is protesting that the non-city residents are gathering signatures, which violates local laws, though that law itself may violate US law (maybe?).
