Nebraska: Some criticism of petition tactics in Kearney School Board member recall effort

Here's some criticism of petitioning tactics used in the recall effort against  Kearney School Board Member Dave Brandt over the transathelete issue.

The petition claims it is over missing part of a meeting, though the article notes that petitioners are focused on the fact that Brandt was one of two members to vote against a requirement to restrict 6-12 grade athletes to teams of their biological gender. The lead petitioner, James Clark is the Buffalo County Republican Party Vice Chairman.

Petitioners would need 2227 signatures (35% of the top vote-getter in the last election) in 30 days. A recall would cost between $20-30,000.
