North Dakota: Bismarck School Board member facing petitions

Bismarck School Board Member Emily Eckroth is facing a recall effort over a confrontation with police during a DUI traffic stop (she cursed out the police and urinated in the back seat of the patrol vehicle). Her husband, who lost a legislative primary, was stopped (but not charged). She pled guilty to a misdemeanor. The school board has already voted to censure her. Petitioners need 2709 signatures in 90 days to get to the ballot.
