California: Yucaipa City Council member ousted in recall

Yucaipa Councilmember Matt Garner has been ousted in a recall vote, with 67% opposed (though the votes are still being counted).

The recall was over support for a high-density project, though there in 2023, petitions were taken out against Garner, Yucaipa Mayor Justin Beaver, Mayor Pro Tem Bobby Duncan and Councilmember Matt Garner over the decision to oust the City Manager and City Attorney. The decision came two months after their contracts were renewed. There are claims of working with developers on the ouster.

This is apparently the first recall attempt in Yucaipa history.
