Oregon: Two Clatsop County Commissioner recalls make the ballot for October 27; one petition outstanding

Ah -- this was in 2009. Not clear why this showed up now: Hazen survived and Samuelson and Roberts lost their seats. Here's an article on claims that this is a misuse of the recall law.


A recall election against Clatsop County Commissioners Jeff Hazen and Ann Samuelson has made the ballot and is scheduled for a special election on October 27 (does seem like the law could be changed to push it off a week).

The recall is over their vote to approve a Liquefied natural gas project.

There is a third recall attempt ongoing against Commissioner Patricia Roberts over both the LNG project and claims of mismanagement with the Northwest Oregon Housing Authority.

Petitioners would need 441 signatures to get on the ballot by November 24.
