Maryland: Russett Community Association Board of Directors President and VP order to be replaced by judge

An Anne Arundel Judge has ordered the removal of Russett Community Association President Colin Sandy and VP Tim Reyburn following their recall in June.

The effort was originally against six of the seven members, but now it is just Peggy Muller-Aragon (who received money from the Governor's PAC) that is facing the wrath.

Michigan: 2012 recall reform law poses serious problems for recall efforts against two state Reps in affair/scandal

I didn't realize this, but a couple of key points about the recalls of Courser and Gamrat, especially this one:

And the biggest impediment for a recall is that the person who voters are trying to recall will be the only person from that party on the ballot: meaning, in highly Republican districts like the areas represented by Courser and Gamrat, voters choice on the ballot would be the targeted lawmaker and a Democratic opponent or a Republican who might want to launch a tough run as an independent candidate.

Texas: 5th Circuit to hear arguments over law banning church support over recalls

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will be hearing arguments on a Texas law that prevented three Texas churches from support recalls against San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the San Antonio City Council and Houston Mayor Annise Parker. The recalls were over the officials support for gay marriage issues.

The lower court held that the support for the recall was a prohibited political contribution and the church would have had to have formed a super PAC to use money.

Michigan: Recall Benton Township Clerk and Treasurer

The recall against Benton Township Clerk Carolyn Phillips and Treasurer Debbie Boothby after numerous signatures were tossed out. Apparently, the addresses were filled in by others in some signatures and the date was not filled, among other issues. The petitioners needed 781 signatures, they got 662 verified against Boothby and 617 against Phillips.

The recall was over the appointment of a former trustee as township supervisor.

New Mexico: Albuquerque School Board facing recall threat

Following a fight that led to the resignation of the former school Superintendent, a parent is now looking to recall six school board members, Don Duran, Peggy Muller-Aragon, Lorenzo Garcia, David Peercy, Analee Maestas and Barbara Petersen, over the $100,000 buyout the superintendent got to resign. A last board member is not being targeted due to his support for their position.

Petitioners would need between 200-1200 signatures to get the recall on the ballot in 110 days. However, New Mexico is a malfeasance standard state, so there will also have to be a showing of cause before a judge -- no easy feat, as we've repeatedly seen.

The attempt to recall the East China School Board President James Biewer failed a clarity hearing with the claim that the petition was all opinion. The petition claimed that there was violation of Open Meetings Act and a claim that he censured a member for required military service. Sounds like the petitioner will try again.
