Texas: Recall threatened against San Angelo Mayor and entire council

There is now a push for a recall of San Angelo Mayor Brenda Gunter and the entire City Council led by former San Angelo Development Corporation Vice Chair John Bariou (who, when he threatened Gunter, with his beard and red short, was noted as looking like Santa Claus).

The original recall was over claims that she is taking over power from the City Manager. The current petition is focused on an initiative to make San Angelo a "sanctuary city for the unborn" though it still sounds like the City Manager fight is the big one.

Petitioners need about 1803 signatures to get Gunter on the ballot, though one councilmember, Harry Thomas, needs just 47 signatures.
