Texas: Signatures handed in against Dickinson Mayor

Petitioners handed in about 1150 signatures for the recall of Dickinson Mayor Sean Skipworth. They need 689 valids (they had 30 days).

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?).
