Massachusetts: New Bedford Mayor proposes recall law

New Bedford Mayor John Mitchell is proposing a recall law for city council members. Petitioners would need signatures from 15% of registereds in 45 days (at large officials need 600 signatures). The recall proposal also has a turnout veto -- 15% of registereds must vote for it to count.

The city looked into such a law in 2017.
