Alaska: Judge rejects attempt to stop Delta Junction Councilmember recall set for April 18

A judge has rejected the attempt to issue an injunction to stop tomorrow's (April 18th) recall against Delta Junction City Council Member Stormie Mitchell. The recall is over claims that Mitchell is unprepared at meetings and delays business. Mitchell was elected to a one-year term in October.

Alaska has a malfeasance standard/judicial recall law, but this seems to be another argument in the recent court cases that have weakened the law significantly. 

The petition had 41 signatures. No word on how many were accepted.

Delta Junction had a recall in 2001 against Thomas "Roy" Gilbertson and Susan "Susie" Kemp over a private prison construction. Both survived the effort.
