Washington: Camas City Council member recall effort moves forward

The recall effort against Camas City Council John Svilarich is moving forward, with a judge greenlighting the effort under Washington's malfeasance standard.. Svilarich was arrested on criminal assault and reckless endangerment charges, after an argument over the disposal of a cigarette butt led to a rock throwing and a gun being pulled. 

Among the lead petitioners are Svilarich's opponent in the last election, a losing mayoral candidate and the husband of one of the other councilors.
