Oregon: Baker City Councilors recall effort fails

The recall effort against six Baker City Councilor, Joanna Dixon, Johnny Waggoner Sr., Dean Guyer, Kerry McQuisten, Shane Alderson and Jason Spriet, has failed, with petitioner not handing in signatures. They needed 680. 

The recall was over a decision to accept the City Manager's proposal to remove ambulance services from the fire department's job and cut fire department employees. A seventh councilor is ineligible until September 22.
