Oregon: Recall Elections against three John Day Councilmembers scheduled for September 17

The recall effort against John Day Councilmember Councilmember Sherrie Rininger, Eric Bush and Ron Phillips has made the September 17 ballot. Petitioners handed in at least 126 signatures. 

The recall is over a kitchen sink of complaints such as "claims of mismanagement, poor decision-making and planning, violations of state law, and unprofessional and unethical conduct."

The recall was filed by John Day Public Works Director. 

In January, John Day Mayor Heather Rookstool lost a recall election, 252-224 over a host of complaints about management and city employees led the charge there as well.
