Minnesota: Blaine City Council rejects charter amendment on recall

Blaine's City Council has rejected a charter amendment to adopt new recall laws for mayors and councilmember. Only one member voted against it, but the law must pass unanimously. The law can still be adopted by a ballot measure.

Blaine already has a judicial recall/malfeasance standard, is looking to change its recall rules a bit -- seemingly tightening the rules to remove nonfeasance (and making it about malfeasance that occurred while they are in office).  The city (which doesn't seem to have any recall efforts of note), will give 30 days to collect signatures of 20% of registered voters
