Alaska: Juneau School Board members facing petitions

Juneau Board of Education President Deedie Sorensen and VP Emil Mackey are facing petitions over a $7.9 million budget deficient, caused by what petitioners claim are accounting errors, though a district consolidation plan seems to be the big issue. Petitioners tried to include the consolidation plan in the petition, but was rejected because of the state's malfeasance standard (though even that may be easily surmounted due to recent court cases).  

Petitioners need 2359 signatures to get on the ballot. The recall could cost $105,000.

Update: Here's an article opposing the recall effort and noting that school consolidation is a nationwide phenomenon.
